Botanical Garden of Florence
Botanical Garden of Florence, Botanical garden and natural history museum in Florence, Italy
The garden spans two hectares with outdoor beds, specialized greenhouses, and dedicated sections for medicinal plants, tropical species, and carnivorous specimens.
The Medici family established this garden in 1545 as the third oldest botanical garden globally, initially focusing on medicinal plants under Cosimo I's direction.
The garden maintains educational programs through the Natural History Museum of Florence, offering scientific research opportunities and botanical knowledge to students.
Visitors can access the garden from Tuesday to Sunday, with seasonal hours varying between 10:00 and 19:00, and entrance fees starting at 6 euros.
Five monumental trees grow in the garden, including a yew planted in 1720 and a cork oak from 1805, representing living witnesses of the garden's evolution.
