Natural Wonders of the Azores

A recent article focuses on how the focus is on ecology in Sao Miguel.  The article lists a variety of facts about the flora and fauna of the region.  Apparently, there is also a partnership with MIT, called the Green Islands Project.  The actual center is profiled in an architectural journal.

Back to Sao Miguel, the most charming video is of the head gardener of the Terra Nostra Gardens.  It doesn't even offer a taste of the garden itself, but he's a fun personality to watch.  Especially when he weighs his love of the garden to his family, "More on the side of the family", but . . .
