Botanical Garden of Parma
Botanical Garden of Parma, Botanical garden in Parma, Italy.
The Botanical Garden is a garden in central Parma with Italian design principles and varied plant collections displayed across its grounds. Specialized greenhouses allow visitors to see alpine, tropical, and subtropical species throughout the year.
The garden was established in the 1600s under Ranuccio I Farnese as a medicinal plant collection. A major transformation took place in the early 1700s, after which it evolved into a complete botanical institution.
The garden serves as a teaching space for the University of Parma, shaping how locals and students connect with plants and natural science. You can see how the city has woven its scientific tradition into everyday engagement with nature.
The garden sits in the city center and is easy to reach and explore on foot. The year-round indoor greenhouse displays ensure visitors always find something to discover regardless of the season.
An eastern section holds a rare tree collection established between the 1700s and 1800s. This area displays species from different parts of the world that have grown here for generations.
