“Graslands, marshes and curious Breelandian names”
In May, in Carsiana, the botanical exploration of Tolkien's Legendarium continues amidst blooms and questions. Is all the grass of Rohan the same? What plants witnessed the disaster of the Gladden Fields and the discovery of the Ring? What is the real name of the innkeeper of the Cavallino Inalberato?
Many insects feed on nectar and pollen, not just bees. The pollination service that they tirelessly and freely carry out has a high value, just think of all the fruit and vegetables that we can eat thanks to them. Despite this we kill them, either on purpose or as collateral victims of other agricultural treatments. Actions in favor of pollinators, both domesticated and wild, are more than important, they are essential. Can we change course? Can we as individuals do something concrete? Even small gestures in our green areas can help. We can introduce you and guide you towards our much desired “green future”.
Sunday 14 May from 10.30 to 12.00 at the Botanical Garden / Botanični vrt Carsiana (Sgonico / Zgonik 55) Nati per Leggere returns to offering all-natural readings aimed at families with children aged 2 and over. According to the formula already adopted last year, the readings will be followed by a child-friendly walk to discover Carsiana in the company of a naturalistic guide of the garden.
Nature teaches us continuously: let's observe, look around and put into practice what she shows us every day. Sustainability, resilience and circular economy are just some of the most used terms these days but they have deep, deep roots in the Earth.
This winter we have worked very hard and now we are ready to present you two very special surprises that enrich the already magnificent landscape of Carsiana.
With primroses and liverworts, this year in Carsiana another novelty has also sprung up! We are very happy to present you the new and free children's map guide of our botanical garden!
