A Plant Collector's Dream Garden in Italy 🌿 Wandering Trauttmansdorff

Wander one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in Italy with me — the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle in Merano, South Tyrol. A plant collector's dream: four themed garden worlds, 80+ garden landscapes, and plants from all over the world, all in one June afternoon. I went in thinking like a flower grower and came out feeling like a full-blown plant hoarder. 🌿 In this video I'm taking you through the garden worlds at Trauttmansdorff — from Mediterranean sun gardens and ancient olive trees to fern valleys, towering trees, and collections so deep they made my jaw drop. If you love plants, varieties, and the thrill of seeing a hundred versions of something you grow at home, this one's for you. Hi, I'm Crane! Over at Cranery Gardens I grow flowers for cutting — bouquets, mason jars, that whole cottage-garden, fill-your-house-with-flowers feeling — here in zone 7 New Jersey. Travel videos like this are my "fill the well" moments, and I always come home with ideas to bring back to our own cutting gardens. 📍 Garden visited: Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle (Giardini di Castel Trauttmansdorff), Merano / Meran, South Tyrol, Italy #cutflowergarden #gardentour #plantcollector
