Garden for the blind
Jul. 5th, 2011 07:35 amYou know what is AMAZING? Italian waffles with Nutella. (The Italians use waffles as a gelato platform. They have about the same nutritional value as a Twix bar and are crunchy with sugar crystals around the edges.
I went to Florence's Botanical Garden yesterday. It was founded in 1345, and apparently the maintenance money ran out soon after. It's scruffy and weedy, with cracked glass in the greenhouses and scummy ponds of waterlilies and lotuses.
However, it did have one feature I really liked. A row of pots of sweet-scented plants, parsley sage, rosemary and thyme (sans parsley), with Braille labels: a special garden for the blind.
