We start our walking tour with a visit to Buskett Woodlands (also known as Buskett Gardens), this 30-ha site is located in the fertile valley of “Wied il-Luq” in Siġġiewi and is one of the few woodland areas found in Malta. The gardens contain broadleaved deciduous woodland, native coniferous woodland, with sclerophyllous garrigue and maquis shrubland, as well as groves of fruit trees. Many different trees and shrubs grow in the gardens, including numerous fruit-bearing trees. Renowned as one of the greenest areas in Malta, the gardens are at their best in the spring but also provide shade from the harsh mid-summer sun and offer a quiet place for a walk in the winter months. We will walk along the valley within these woodlands where we will have the opportunity to appreciate a variety of trees found in the Mediterranean region, including the national tree of Malta (the Sandarac Gum tree) and some of the oldest trees found on the island, dating back at least 500 years.
