Located in the heart of the Cansiglio plateau, Cansiglio Botanic Garden is an alpine garden established in 1972 by the Padua professor Lorenzoni.

The garden has about 700 plant species living in the pre-Alps and three hundred plant species native to the Cansiglio-Cavallo area. They are mostly organized into specific environments.

About one and a half hectares of space provides home to collections of plants living in forests, shrubwoods, fields, pastures, or in rocky snow valleys. There are also two peat bogs and a lama, a habitat for many species of amphibians and insects. There is also a small collection of medicinal plants. The garden is a beautiful place to visit and enjoy. It is a great source of information for kids’ education, but it is also a place where plants are preserved and studied, especially those in danger of extinction.
