I was incredibly lucky to be given exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the Real Jardín Botánico (the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid). In this video, the garden's director, Maria, takes us on a private tour to explore some of the most stunning and historic plant collections in Spain. We look at incredible 100-year-old bonsai trees embracing rocks, the 280-year-old "Grandfather" cypress tree, and a stunning collection of ancient roses funded in collaboration with Chanel. We also dive into the fascinating history of Beatrix Potter's scientific research into fungi and why her brilliant botanical illustrations are known even here in Madrid. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Tour of Madrid’s Royal Botanical Garden 00:46 The 100-Year-Old Bonsai Collection 03:00 Tropical Water Lilies & Hot Madrid Summers 04:30 The Grandfather Tree (280 Years Old!) 05:36 A Quick Break with June's Journey 07:41 The 1830s Greenhouse & Global Grape Varieties 10:52 Beatrix Potter’s History with Fungi Research 14:36 The English Garden & Ancient Roses (Sponsored by Chanel) 18:55 Surviving Storm Filomena & Saying Goodbye If you enjoyed this look around Madrid, please give the video a like and subscribe to the channel for more of our adventures!
