The Botanical Garden has an
extension of 6 hectars, where are being reproduced the most
important terrestrian ecological systems. Special attention
is paid to the vegetation of the "Mediterranean macchia (maquis)",
of the "African oasises", of the "deserts of Northern Mexico",
of the "subtropical areas in Australia" and of the "secondary
African tropical forests"; the latter is sheltered in winter-time.
Actually in course of preparation are an evolutive collection
of the species Pinus, examples of reproductions of rock-gardens
and of the vegetation of humid areas. The gardens exploit
the near sulphureous hot water springs of Bulicame . Access
by car from the road Faul-Bagni, near the link of the Superstrada
or by foot from Via S. Caterina.
