Orto Botanico Forestale dell'Abetone, Botanical garden and museum in Fontana Vaccaia, Abetone Cutigliano, Italy
The garden extends across 1.4 hectares, containing 300 plant species native to the northern Apennine Mountains, including fir, beech, birch, and spruce trees.
The garden opened its doors in 1987 through a collaboration between the Tuscany Region, State Forestry Corps, Mountain Community dell'Appennino Pistoiese, and three universities.
The facility functions as an educational center where visitors learn about regional flora through guided tours and research programs focused on mountain ecosystems.
During warm months, visitors can access the garden daily to observe various plant species such as blueberry, gentian, saxifrage, lily, moss, lichen, orchid, and primrose.
The garden maintains specialized collections of Abies alba, Caltha palustris, and multiple Gentiana varieties, representing the biodiversity of Tuscan mountain environments.
