Buskett Gardens
The Buskett Gardens (Italian: Boschetto) forming one of the few woodland areas in Malta, are located in the fertile valley of Wied il-Luq in Rabat. The 30 ha site lies to the west of Siġġiewi (Città Ferdinand) and just east of Dingli. The Verdala Palace, an official residence of the President of Malta, stands on the edge of the Gardens.
