Milan: Exploring Hidden Greenspaces in Milan
I travel to Milan to discover some of Milan's Hidden Greenspaces. I also provide a Milan travel guide to using the Metro & other public transport in Milan. We visit Castello Sforzesco and also Parco Sempione. I am conducting research for my Churchill Fellowship research grant on how to make our towns and cities greener. I am finding examples of great greenspaces and looking for a way to incorporate some of these ideas into town planning to improve access to greenspaces as towns and cities grow.
We travel to a community garden in a mental hospital in North Milan and meet a community group who have created their very own urban farm. You can experience the garden yourself as it is on the grounds of an old abandoned mental health hospital and there is a hostel on sight.

We also visit Parco 8 Milan's newest park as well as visiting a free botanical garden in Milan called Orto Botanico Brera.

    How exciting Jason! Oh I'm sure that budgeting for this effort is a challenge. Pretty complex transport network-- they really pack it in tight! Love their greenspaces- efficiency is key! Loved how the allotments provide a connection and a sense of belonging for the refugees. Shoutout to Lara and Leo! Fantastic vlog bro. Can't wait to see more!

    I live about 80 km. north of Milano. So I go there quite frequently. I can take a train from the village where I live very cheaply. In the Lombardy region you can buy a ticket for €17.50 which allows you to travel on all forms of transport anywhere in the region for 24 hours. Very useful for days out. I am a frequent visitor to the Orto Botanico. The Cimitero Monumentale is worth a look, too. In May there's a really good plant market in the public gardens by Piazza Della Republica where I spend far too much money. Still too many cars in Milano, though. The bike network has dramatically improved during the last few years.

    • @CloudGardenerUK
      @CloudGardenerUK 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @StephenSmith-ge1qf yes, I think the consolidation of the public transport network to be run by local government is super effective and the partnership with renfe to bring prices down is great. In the UK that 80km train journey alone would be £60-80 due to privatisation. After spending time in Milan, I realized that drivers were a problem, not just the volume but the anger issues 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I would like to return, next year. Which month would you suggest? Thank you for watching! The next ep continues in Milan, I have some interesting thoughts in the summary and it will be interesting to hear if you'd agree/disagree 🤙🏾

      @@CloudGardenerUK April and May are good, the street trees getting their leaves and the temperatures not too hot, though there will be wet days! Sometimes you can get beautiful days in October with clear skies and even a glimpse of the snow on the Alps if you get high up enough (the tower in Parco Sempione, for example.). Never, ever visit Milano in August - everyone's left for the seaside or the mountains, the heat and humidity are terrible and there are millions of mosquitos. Loved the video, and I'm looking forward to the next one!

      When you commented on the community post.. I instantly thought of you and the Milan community garden. It's literally a little urban farm. I learned so much from them. They are all novice gardeners and just have learned on the go, so I am sure that they'd benefit from your knowledge!

      Nathan represented very well how difficult it is to articulate why those of us who love plants and gardens are so enchanted by being around them - we just love it! Your chats with everybody kept reminding me how people with an interest in plants seem to develop such kind and sincere personalities, and connects people across usual hurdles like class, income, language etc. It's great to be reminded of that (especially with recent events in the UK). Also, I have to compliment you on the outfit Jason - you almost outshone the flowers 👌🔥. Thanks for another great video!

    • @CloudGardenerUK
      @CloudGardenerUK หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@ChristopherDraws I couldn't agree more with everything you said. The theme of this episode was face value.. When we think of showgardens we often think about Chelsea and "posh" designers. This show.. the designs were phenominal with so much thought gone into it and after spending time with the designers you realize they are just everyday people with a passion for plants. Hopefully, the series will encourage peopoe to go to a show next year ❤ I am really glad you enjoyed this episode thank you for watching.
