About this audio guide

This guide to the University of Malta section of Argotti Botanic Gardens, in Floriana just outside Valletta, follows John Borg, a Maltese doctor who gave his life to plants and built a cactus collection admired across Europe. It reaches back to the Knights' physic garden of medicinal herbs and to a bailiff's grotto lined with coral and shells. Best heard standing among the giant cacti of the inner garden.
