Orto Botanico Friulano

The Orto Botanico Friulano is a botanical garden in Udine with collections of irises, native plants, heather plants, succulents, ferns, and forest species. The site contains multiple connected sections showcasing different plant types from alpine species to tropical trees.

The project began in 1951 with the aim of combining scientific research with teaching. It developed into an important center for plant studies in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region.

The name reflects the Friuli region and its botanical traditions in northern Italy. Visitors can observe how the garden serves as a place where locals connect with plant knowledge and environmental awareness.

The garden is accessible through several level paths suitable for different mobility levels. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the different plant sections at a comfortable pace.

The site uses sustainable techniques such as composting areas and rainwater collection systems to support its botanical collections. These environmentally conscious methods make it more than just a display of plants.
