...for Palma's municipal gardeners and for those responsible for the flowers and greenery on the island's main road systems. All around central Palma there are attractive small gardens and trees planted to give as much cover as possible from the sun. On the motorways, especially, the displays of the colourful oleanders are everywhere to be seen and in some parts they are quite spectacular. Many features make up the appeal of a city. In the case of Palma, to its antiquity, location and convenience must be added its imaginative use of flowers and trees.
