The Japanese Garden at the Orto Botanico di Roma was designed by Ken Nakajima, who also created the garden of the Japanese Cultural Institute in Rome. The garden is based on the Kayushiki Teien model, or walking garden, which means that it has fountains and small waterfalls, ponds, and a pavilion. The Orto Botanico di Roma claims its bamboo grove to be one of the richest in Europe. I can’t say I’ve visited many, but this one was certainly a pleasure to wander through and forget that we were in the chaotic Italian capital for a few moments 🌱 When we visited, the Orto Botanico di Roma had an exhibition in conjunction with the APPI Paleontological Association, so that there were sculptures of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures in various spots of the park 🦖🦕 The garden belongs to the Sapienza University of Rome, and was established in 1883, the heir to the Papal Botanical Gardens, which themselves go back to the Renaissance. The land this park currently covers was once used for vineyards and farms to serve the Papal states 🍇 Happy Friday ✨ Sharing some outdoorsy shots on the blog today, link in bio 🌿 Hope you're having a lovely week 🤎 Have a lovely Saturday 🤍 Happy Friday ✨

Hello!

My name is Jessica and I live in Spain. I’m obsessed with dogs (this is important) and have a tendency to take way too many pictures when I travel (which doesn’t happen often enough). I like cold weather, morning light, and empty museums.
