Thai people do not make a big difference between food plants, spices and medicinal plant as Western people do today.
The Thai name for the garden is more according the Thai concept of edible plants that can be used medicinal or as spice.
Therefore we chose as Thai name สวน สมุนไพร นาตีน ,pronounced as suan samunprai natin.
