Siena- the botanical garden

We visited Siena in Tuscany in Italy last month for a couple of weeks and as always when we visit, spent time in the botanical garden.

A view back into the city from the garden:



The 19th century greenhouse:



The view out over the medieval city wall into the Maremma (Siena's countryside):



Another view back into the city:



Woodland area close to the city wall:



And olive trees in the shelter of the wall:



This lovely building was a pigsty, I believe:



And had a harvest of Winter squash:
