She gives a taster of some of the highlights of this tour, such as the man-made underground caves below the Villa Frassanelle, complete with lakes and stalactites, and the world’s oldest botanical gardens in Padua. She goes onto describe her London Gardens Walk, which explores a variety of hidden green spaces in the Capital.
