About this audio guide
This guide to the Dimitrie Brândză Botanical Garden in Bucharest follows the money behind a garden that began on a modest budget signed off by Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza in eighteen sixty. You'll meet the doctor Carol Davila, the botany professor Dimitrie Brândză, and a garden that kept being moved around the city. Along the way it stops at the Old Greenhouse, modelled on those of Liège, and at a wartime morning in nineteen forty-four.
