About this audio guide
This audio guide to the University Botanic Garden in Ljubljana follows Franc Hladnik, a priest and schoolmaster whose frail health kept him out of the pulpit and sent him into the meadows of Carniola instead. It opens in the lean years after Napoleon's Marshal Marmont ordered a garden for the city, when every season depended on money that rarely arrived. Best heard beside the old boundary wall, near the big linden.
