To demonstrate the environmental friendliness of its operations, GPIC implemented a number of projects inside and outside its complex, the latest of which is the "HERBAL AND MEDICAL PLANTS GARDEN" inaugurated on 9th May 2005. Covering an area of 1200m2, this innovative project was launched with the prime objective preserving indigenous herbs and plants that were once used by inhabitants to treat various illnesses. The garden currently encompasses 20 types of herbs and shrubs. This garden has also become a very useful platform for researchers, school students and dignitaries from which to benefit. GPIC Launches its Herbal and Medical Plants Garden under the patronage of His Highness Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Governor of the Southern Governorate and Chairman of the Public Commission for the Protection of Marine Resources, Environment and Wildlife. The launching ceremony started with HH Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa unveiling the commemorative plaque marking the launch of Garden. On this occasion, His Highness planted a tree at the new Garden. Later, Mr. Abdul Rahman Jawahery delivered a speech in which he welcomed the event's patron HH SHaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa and the guests. He thanked His Highness for kindly attending this event. Afterwards, His Highness Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa and the guests toured the Garden and were briefed on the most important plants and medical herbs and how to maintain them.
