Milan: as busy as the city itself <\/strong><\/h2>\n

It was 1774, at the peak of the Enlightenment, when Empress Mary Therese commissioned the Botanic Garden of Milan <\/strong>on the grounds once owned by the Jesuit Company. The aim of the garden was to produce medicinal herbs for the Spezieria di Brera, the local pharmacy.
\nHidden behind the imposing palace of the Brera Academy, this little green corner in the historical heart of Milan houses plants, flowers and insects and is the ideal place to take shelter from the chaotic city.
\nWhen walking along the narrow cobbled lanes don\u2019t forget to admire the sage flowerbeds<\/em> and the columbines<\/em> and save the date in May to go and see the beautiful peony in blossom<\/em> .
\nIf you\u2019d like to take part in one of the many garden activities<\/strong>, we can suggest some of these:
\nGuided tours for schools<\/a>
\nGuided tours for individuals<\/a>
\nArt and Science educational labs <\/a>
\nTechnology for visually impaired and blind visitors<\/a> supported by the Rotary Club Milano Brera and Unione Italiana Ciechi e Ipovedenti di Milano, the association for the visually impaired in Milan.
