Into the Botanical Garden of Rome
One step away from the chaotic streets of the center of Rome, there is a green paradise surrounded by silence: the Botanical Garden of Rome. It is one of the largest gardens in Italy and it is very important for the preservation of plants from all over the world. Secular trees, aquatic plants, roses, bamboo and palm trees, a Japanese garden with its magnolias and its waterfalls: these are some of the things our Global Navigators had the chance to see today. Our guide answered all their interesting questions, both in English and Italian, since students are getting better and better with their newly acquired italian vocabulary.
