Villa Taranto, Botanical garden in Verbania, Italy
The gardens extend across 16 hectares with diverse plant collections, greenhouses, terraced sections, flower beds, and water features along Lake Maggiore's shore point.
Scottish captain Neil Boyd Watson McEacharn purchased the estate in 1931, transforming it from the former La Crocetta property into specialized botanical gardens.
The gardens maintain scientific connections with botanical institutions worldwide while serving as a center for horticultural research and plant conservation initiatives.
Visitors can access the gardens from March through November, with specialized guided tours available in multiple languages through advance reservations.
The dahlia collection presents 350 varieties through 1,700 plants, creating one of the largest specialized displays of these flowers in European gardens.
