A land very rich in history and culture, Sicily offers many fascinating gardens, historic and contemporary. I suggest you some in the North-Eastern area, from Catania to Siracusa, that you can visit, if you want, adding some special nurseries in the same area (Wandering nurseries: Messina and its surroundings, Sicily/1). To know more about these and other Sicilian gardens, there is a very beautiful book: Gardens of Sicily, by Clare Littlewood, published by Ciampi Editore.
