The garden of St.Catherine's Monastery,Valletta is one of two gardens which will be open to the public for the duration of the Valletta Green Festival. Valletta 2018 Chairman Jason Micallef with Environmental Landscaping Consortium Chairman Peter Calamatta announced details for the Valletta Green Festival this morning.
Two 400-year-old gardens in Valletta will be opening to the public for the first time during the Valletta Green Festival held between the sixth and eighth May.
The Festival, a Valletta 2018 initiative, aims to inject colour into an otherwise urban landscape.
The gardens lie in the heart of St. Catherine’s Monastery, a 16th century building in Republic Street run by cloistered nuns and the Archbishop’s Palace in Archbishop Street.
Both gardens will be open between 9am and 12pm (noon) and again between 4pm and 7pm during the three days of the festival.
