Villa Piercy, Botanical garden in Bolotana, Italy
The mountain botanical garden extends across four hectares within the Marghine mountain range, featuring native and foreign plant species near Villa Piercy.
Welsh engineer Benjamin Piercy established the garden in 1879 while directing Sardinia's railway construction, incorporating British landscape design principles.
The garden maintains a collection of Mediterranean and Sardinian plant species, reflecting the agricultural traditions of Bolotana and its surrounding region.
Visitors can access the botanical garden during warm months, exploring both the restored Victorian villa and the extensive plant collection within the grounds.
The garden contains one of Italy's longest box tree tunnels, formed by Balearic boxwood specimens arranged in a continuous green corridor.
