Giardino dei Semplici

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:25:06

Founded in 1545 to furnish medicine to the Medici, these gardens make a nice retreat in a stretch of the city with very little green space. Today its greenhouse is fragrant with citrus blossoms, while outdoors its 2.3 hectares are devoted to medicinal plants, Tuscan spices, and wildflowers from the Apennines.
