Gentle botanising in Malta in April ?
« on: January 29, 2012, 09:06:37 AM »
My mother is pretty elderly but adequately mobile and has wanted to go to Malta for some years.  My wife and I can only take her at the beginning of April - school holidays.  

Is this a good time botanically ?  

And is there any one place that is better than another for gentle botanising?

Many thanks

Rob

It is a VERY long time since I was last in Malta, Rob.... but I think in early April the orange blossom will be beginning and it is worth a trip for that alone.  With that scent in the air every walk will be a delight.

A quick Google produces this:

Which might be of use.
