For the travelers coming to Sicily on the Grand Tour, the encounter with the luxuriant vegetation of the Mediterranean was as aesthetically and emotionally moving as the sight of the classical ruins they had come to view, an encounter that was almost always enhanced by some knowledge of botany and by a thorough education in the classics. The Garlands of the Gods is an attempt to restore the fullness of this 'Sicilian experience' to today's travelers, providing them with historical, botanical and mythological information about Sicily's spectacular wild flowers.
