Visiting and exploring gardens is an occupation that is highly rewarding and in this interactive eBook we go on a virtual tour of six selected Italian gardens. For those with an interest in botany, art, landscape and history, Gardens of Italy can stand alone or form a template for a future visit. Nominally priced, this attractive book explores six gardens chosen for their profound differences to each other in terms of location, botany, history and landscape, complete with practical information such as directions and opening times. One of these destinations, the Hanbury Botanical Gardens, has been given more prominence not so much because of its importance, as they are all equally precious and beautiful, but for the huge variety of plants, especially exotic, covering more than 18 hectares of extraordinary parkland.
