| donkeys on our way back from the Cansiglio alpine botanical garden |
how many amazing things we did in July! it confirms itself as my favorite month. i cannot wait to tell you everything about our
Sicilia road trip, but we're not quite there yet. {i shared a little preview on
Steller yesterday though}
during hot summer days i amore even more grateful than usual that we live so close to the mountains. just a quick lambretta ride and we can step into the enchanting Cansiglio forest, the closest green getaway.
in the plateau lies a 3 hectares wide quiet botanical garden. the altitude is around 1000 meters, and the garden reproduces a few natural environments typical of the upland and the alpine region.

the garden is home to 800 species of plants, more than a half of the approximately 1500 living in the Cansiglio area.

| compositae | Senècio gaudìnii [1000 - 2300 m] |
 |
| compositae | Càrdus personàta [500-1700 m] |

| geraniaceae | Gerànium argentèum [1700 - 2200 m] |

| some wilderness is still preserved inside the garden, too |
That looks and sounds like a truly magical place! I would love to see it!
