When we were in Warsaw a couple of weeks ago, we spent a lovely afternoon wandering around the Botanical Gardens, part of the University of Warsaw. A short bus ride from our hostel, the gardens were the perfect haven after a few days’ sightseeing in the bustling city. We spent a lovely few hours reading on a secluded bench amid the trees and flowers.
It was one of the times recently when I’ve felt most relaxed – it was lovely to just switch off and just be in a beautiful place. It’s moments like that which really nurture us, I think. When I wasn’t daydreaming, I powered through much of The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling!), which, incidentally, I LOVED and would thoroughly recommend.
If you happen to be in Warsaw and would like to visit the gardens yourself, the website can be found here. There is a small charge to venture inside – I can’t remember how much it was, but I’m pretty sure it worked out at less than £1 in the good old GBP.
Here are some of my photographs which I took – take a botanical wander with me!
This is actually the beautiful open boulevard just outside the gardens themselves
