Jack – Learning and Growth Experience

The Story of the Yamit Region – visitor center explains the towns of the Yamit Region. The fascinating story of the Yamit Region finds itself breathing life again. The official memorial site “The Story of the Yamit Region” tells the story of the place returned to within the Egyptian borders in 1981, then  willingly evacuated by its residents, with their businesses and homes, for the sake of peace. The visitor center was established in the town of Dekel in Hevel Shalom, where six towns and 2 kibbutz settlements have been established since the evacuation of Yamit, for a new settlement in the Negev. The visitor center represents a magical, nostalgic corner of pioneering, creativity, pride in place, human and personal stories – for each visitor to experience in their own way. The historic importance of Yamit has brought Zehava Shaked, Tamar Shivat – who evacuated from Yamit and established Dekel – to commemorate the information center for the general public. The site offers the Yamit Visitor Center (museum), the Yamit Walls, the monument of the Steel Division, a peek into the life re-established and a tour of the greenhouse and galleries of artists of the area.

Adenium Nursery by Rina and Danny Mor Cultivation, training and sale of the adenium plant (desert rose) Adenium Obesum ("Desert Rose") Adenium is a desert flower of the oleander family, native to the deserts of the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa. Due to its origin, it is resistant to heat and does not need much hydration, but it is susceptible to cold and excess water. In our country it blooms from spring to late summer. Ideally, it should be grown in a pot because, in winter, it should be moved to a place protected from rain and humidity. The root of the Adenium Obesum is bottle-shaped, which helps with the efficient storage of the little water the plant gets in the desert. Its large flowers are pink, crimson, red and white. In our nursery, you can learn about all growing stages, starting with the sowing, how the tender sprouts and seedlings are handled, watering and fertilizing, transferring seedlings from small to large pots, and how to root plant cuttings. You may visit the Adenium Nursery all week long, with reservations: 077-7295736 Rina Mor.
