Botanical Garden. Guide for visitors

The Botanical Garden of the University of Palermo has been a protagonist, for over 225 years, of the City of Palermo, of whose territory, and not only of that, it recounts the past and imagines the future.

It is an extraordinary metaphor of Mediterranean hospitality. It is the place where the art of man combines with the ability of different species to coexist, in environments and systems that are sometimes totally different from those of their origins. The Botanical Garden allows those who know how to visit it a journey across continents, islands, steppes, mountains, lakes, an unimaginable diversity of environments contained in a handkerchief of land.

Diversity of shapes, colours, structure, the garden contains and expresses plant diversity in an extreme yet harmonious way. The harmony of complexity and diversity. The ability to find a balance in the coexistence of different species. A great lesson from the plant world.
