In Milan, this initiative created a community around plants and flowers

In Italy, Clinica Botanica was created as a way to reconnect people with place, nature, and slower rhythms. One of its founders decided to create it in Milan: a huge metropolis, where between fast pace, tourists and capitalism, it’s becoming harder and harder to find peace, quiet and mindfulness.

Through his personal journey, he invites us to imagine Italian cities where residents—not tourism flows—set the pace.

This is the second video of ‪@Popagandagr‬ ‘s series about plants and flowers from around Europe. This shortdoc is also part of our “Stories Breaking Borders” series. To watch other films in the series, check out our channel.
