In the heart of a botanical garden in a medieval university town in Germany stands a majestic ginkgo tree. This silent witness has observed over a century the quiet rhythms of transformation across three human lives: in 1908 a pioneering female student, in 1972 a young man changed by a geranium, and in 2020 a neuroscientist exploring the mind of infants. Each story reveals how connection, curiosity and nature intertwine.
