History
and style:
At
the end of the 19th century, a few english people
who were very keen on botany decided to create
this garden.
From
1925 on Lord Radcliff, the governor of Malte,
added plants that he had carried back from the
two hemispheres to it.
In 1967, this garden became the Mediterranean
Center of the
National Museum of Natural History.
This
garden is more specifically enriched in the Solanaceae
family plants.
It
also displays exotic fruit trees.
Thanks
to the exceptional climate of the Garavan area,
you can find citrus fruits, Central America avocados,
Topical American annonas and so many others.
