Lyrics
It belongs to England
but streets have African feeling
Tropical palm trees
Exoticism are flowing
Red colour telephone box
Double - decker red bus
Several cultures are mingled in this place !
Gibraltar !
The Botanic Garden makes you feel as if
you were in the southern country
Gibraltar !
Just 13 km to African continent
A melting point
An unique city !
The style of the park is very similar to that of the major European parks, such as Hyde Park in London: elegant houses, pavilions, statues, romantic bridges over narrow water streams. There are many cycling and walking paths within the park, and a couple of them are aimed at schools and botanic amateurs, as they show and explain the richness and variety of the local flora. The park gives space to sport as well: there is one basketball field and several fitness trails to provide proper training to the many who choose this place for jogging or doing some exercise. This is a very nice place to have a relaxing walk, go cycling or have picnics, especially in summer. It is a must for those who want to experience life as Milanese like it.
Episode 5 of 10
In this episode, plantswoman Carol Klein shares her infectious passion for a style of gardening that she thinks is in much need of a revival - the rock garden. She tracks its history from its pinnacle during the Victorian era, visits a community in Bolton who have pulled back their local rockery from neglect, and drops in on an old friend in the Midlands to find out more about this much-maligned gardening style. From her base at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens, Carol demonstrates tried and tested techniques for growing success, as she shows us how to plant up a trough with some of her treasured rock garden favourites and gives advice on the best alpine bulbs for containers.
Also in this show, Toby Buckland is on the campaign trail for herb gardens. He discovers how useful herbs have been throughout history, learns that there was no such thing as a weed in Tudor times, meets a woman whose garden is overflowing with herbs we have forgotten, and talks to a botanist who grows plants to capitalise on their unique fragrances and essential oils. Toby also demonstrates how to harvest seeds and grow herbs, whether you have a garden or not, and how to make the most of herbs by storing them in clever and unusual ways

From her base at the cutting garden of Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire, Rachel gives us her tips on how to grow, cut and arrange flowers.
Also in the show, Joe Swift wants us all to plant trees in our gardens. He visits the magnificent elm trees of Brighton, which didn't fall victim to the devastating Dutch elm disease as it ravaged Britain in the 1970s, and he marvels at the national collection of birch trees in Devon, the lifelong work of one man. Based at Cambridge University Botanic Garden, Joe shows us some of his favourite trees for small gardens and also gives us his top tips on how to plant and prune trees.

Ralph, Rita, Richard, and I went to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami, Florida (which most people seem to call “Fairchild Gardens”) today. This is a short movie of the trip. Ralph purchased a “Family & Friends” membership for the 4 of us. Then he bought us lunch at the small café on the grounds. (Thanx, Ralph!) We followed that with a free hour-long tram ride through the premises, and a brief stop at the souvenir shop. We got rained on once during the trip (I think it actually might have rained twice while we were there), but “grown men are prepared for life’s little emergencies” (i.e., we had umbrellas). It was a fun trip!
