The Botanic Gardens of Villa Taranto
The Botanical Gardens of Villa Taranto will reopen to the public on March 14 to close their gates on 1 november.Il garden has always been a favorite in the area of Lake Maggiore for all those who wish to immerse themselves in a fascinating natural environment. Born from the passion of a botanical Scottish Captain Neil McEacharn, this garden is a true work of art shaped over time.
With its 16 hectares, visitors can admire 20,000 species of particular importance botany, from every corner of the world and divided into a set of various "gardens", each with its own peculiarities, some of which are characterized by geometric designs and other more spontaneous apparently unusual.
A composition in which the "botanical curiosity" integrates the aesthetic forming a spectacular play of light, shadows and colors unmatched.
During the early period of opening will be possible to admire the first flowers of Prunus, of forsythie and a dazzling variety of magnolias. This will be interspersed with over 10,000 pansies planted in the alleys of the park. It will also be the flowering of camellias, (flower typical of Lake Maggiore and only in our area has the DOP), together with more than 80,000 bulbs in flower to transform the park into one of the top botanical of our Lake
Also in the spring months you can admire cornus, paulownia, azaleas and rhododendrons, next to the spectacular Davidia involucrata also called "tree of handkerchiefs", for its special white bracts and pendule.E now we just have to wait for the thousands of tourists who stay on our lake.
