WELCOME TO MY BLOG.

I've always had an interest in gardens and in the natural world. I soon realized that these were more than just flowers to me, but people, places, pictures, history, thoughts...
Starting from a detail seen during one of my visits, unexpected worlds come out, sometimes turned to the past, others to the future.

Travel in a Garden invites you to discover them.

Tram n. 12 in Milan.

Works to renovate a section of tramway n. 12 in Milan are completed, and, near Cimitero Monumentale, tracks disappear under clover and abelias.

In the road ahead, the double row of 170 Siberian Elms, planted in 1967 along the tracks, is now surrounded by lawn and flowers. New trees have been planted to replace those considered too ill and dangerous. Citizens' protests against the complete felling of the elms, in fact, led to a revision of the initial project and to the preservation of most of the trees.
