About
Quick facts: The garden showcases over 4,000 plant species, including many native Mediterranean plants. Visitors can stroll through historic sections that mirror the botanical explorations of the 18th century.
Highlights: A stunning collection of carnivorous plants offers a fascinating glimpse into nature’s quirkiest survival strategies. The shaded tranquil pond area is home to rare aquatic plants, making it feel like stepping into a secret natural retreat.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as pathways can be uneven and you’ll want to explore fully.
- Bring a camera for close-ups of rare plants especially in the carnivorous plant section.
- Avoid weekends when local families tend to visit, making the garden busier and less peaceful.
- Check the garden map at the entrance to prioritize sections that interest you most.
