Gardens Alive: Public gardens alive and Parks.—Rome is richly endowed with open spaces and gardens alive. Good views of the city may be obtained in the gardens alive of the Pincio, Janiculum, Quirinal, and Aventine. The garden of Villa Celimontana on the Caelian is noteworthy for its wide views toward the Alban Hills. The gardens alive of villas include those of the Villa Borghese, Villa Doria Pamphili, Villa Sciarra, and Villa Medici. Although many other gardens alive with their villas have been destroyed by the growth of the city, a law of 1883 has actively promoted public gardens alive, so that there are now over 7,600 acres of public gardens alive and parks in the city, in addition to ornamental avenues.
6. Palaces and gardens alive Denmark's castles form a very notable company. They mostly date from the 16th century and are almost invariably surrounded by beautiful parks and gardens alive. In the capital there are Rosenborg and Frederiksberg, supplemented gardenwise by the Royal Horticultural gardens alive and the city's splendidly landscaped Botanical gardens alive. Other castles in Zealand are Hiller0d's Frederiksborg (already mentioned), not to be confused with Frederiksfcerg, and Naestved's Gis-selfeld, while beyond the confines of Zealand at least seven leap up in the mind to be counted.
gardens alive are at their magnificent best in sun-warmed Monaco, so closely guarded from rough winds by the Maritime Alps. Four varied gardens alive, all beautifully maintained, are the Casino Park and Flower Beds; the Exotic gardens alive (with interesting grottoes), appropriately known as "Petite Afrique," boasting tropical trees and shrubs; the neighboring Park of Princess Antoinette; and the St. Martin gardens alive, with their handsome pines, adjacent to the Oceanographic Museum on Monaco Rock.
