Case & Country in December 2010
E 'widely attributed the origin of the botanical gardens to the Middle Ages, starting from the "Garden of Simple" adjacent to monasteries, where the plants were grown for use of their medicinal qualities .

The stated purposes are important: contribute to the conservation of species, raise awareness of the respect for nature and biodiversity.
The first choice, logic, was to create a garden for plants adapted to Mediterranean climate, looking for rare plants around the world where climatic conditions are similar. The plants are divided into geographical sections: the south of Australia and Africa are richly represented. The central part of Chile and Baja California have provided many. An important part is reserved for very special flora of the islands of Macaronesia. Some exemplary
stands on the other younger, existing plants are rare, as some pine and carob trees.
I must say that the winters are not so mild in Barcelona, \u200b\u200band some plants are just on the edge, at the mercy of a few more unusually cold winter.
E 'were given much attention to their position, trying to create natural situations. Even the most minute, often lively, have found their place.

visitors this time of year, off season, has many surprises in the meantime you can see many plants in fruit, then there are the plants in the southern hemisphere, and some have not yet realized that the season must be inverted, so their flowering period is uncertain and wrong, the pictures on this page, taken in this period are the 'example.
