Naturalistic description of the flora |
The attractiveness of the Cavaglia Glacier garden is not only due to the giants’ pots themselves but also to its typical alpine vegetation, enhanced by the presence of a biotope developed after the retreat of the glacier about 10’000 years ago.
The flora of the Glacier Garden is very particular and includes several rare species.
Antonio Giuliani, a keen Poschiavo botanist, has carried out research on the subject which includes a description of the flora and many beautiful pictures. |
