The Royal Botanical Gardens of Madrid was founded in 1755 by King Ferdinand VI. Today the collection includes more than 30,000 plant species. I saw my first pomegranate tree, its Spanish name granado was named for the Granada region in Southern Spain where it commonly grows. In August my family is taking me there to their summer home and hopefully I will get to see another one. The most exciting part about el jardín was the class of five year olds on a field trip. I have a whole collection of sneaky pictures that I gathered by utilizing the 16x zoom feature on my camera. How do you say nuggets in Spanish?!
