The garden features numerous perennial herbs and shrubs organized by themed areas, offering optimal planting advice for shade or sunny spots, small or large spaces, seasonal flowering or striking foliage effects. Core areas include a greenhouse, extensive perennial displays, and thoughtfully designed plant combinations harmonizing with local wild species.
Nursery and Plant Supply
The Viridarium nursery is a true plant treasure: the perennial herb nursery cultivates plants in the garden’s propagation beds using natural biological methods, grown in small plastic pots and sold in eco-sustainable packaging made from corn starch and cardboard. Also featuring Vivai Giani climbing plants section – Italy’s only retail nursery specializing exclusively in climbing plants. The website maintains detailed records of all cultivated plants, with exclusive sales for members.
