Giardino dell'Orticultura, Public garden in northern Florence, Italy

The Giardino dell'Orticultura is a public garden on Via Bolognese in Florence. Its grounds are laid out in gravel paths and grass patches, with benches and a tall dark-grey metal lamppost with a fluted column and lantern. In the centre stands the white Loggetta Bondi, an open structure with three round arches on slender columns, a flat roof and a balustrade above. The garden also contains Giacomo Roster's iron-and-glass tepidarium, 38.50 by 17 metres and covering 650 square metres.

The Società Toscana di Orticoltura, formed in 1854 on the initiative of the Accademia dei Georgofili, obtained land outside Porta San Gallo in 1859 from Marquis Ludovico Ginori Lisci and Marquise Marianna Venturi. After three years it had a nursery, a vineyard and a fruit orchard. From 1876 the garden was reorganised to host national exhibitions, and the iron-and-glass tepidarium by Giacomo Roster opened on 19 May 1880. The Comune bought the garden in 1930 and made it public.

The garden's name comes from the Società Toscana di Orticoltura, founded in 1854 on the initiative of the Accademia dei Georgofili. The glass-and-iron tepidarium, inaugurated on 19 May 1880, now hosts events, aperitifs and cultural activities such as "Un tè con le farfalle". The garden also houses the Biblioteca comunale dell'Orticoltura.

The garden has two entrances: the main one at Via Vittorio Emanuele II 4 and a side entrance at Via Bolognese 17. A pedestrian footbridge over the railway leads from the garden to the Giardino degli Orti del Parnaso on the higher ground. The municipal horticultural library is housed inside the garden.

The garden's tepidarium was assembled from 9,700 pieces and eight tonnes of rolled iron, with cast-iron columns from the Lorenzetti foundry in Pistoia. After its inauguration on 19 May 1880, a La Nazione journalist called it a "palace of crystal". Scenes from Mario Monicelli's Amici miei - Atto II (1982) were filmed in the garden.
