In Tambre, near Lake Santa Croce, the “Giangio Lorenzoni” Alpine Botanical Garden will take you on a journey to discover the rich flora that the Cansiglio Forest preserves within it. Founded in 1972 by Dr. Giovanni Lorenzoni, professor at the University of Padua, and inaugurated in 1995, the Garden aims to raise awareness of the natural wealth, further scientific research and protect the delicate and increasingly endangered Alpine flora.
In the summertime, the guided tour will allow you to immerse yourself in a fantastic world where you will discover the biodiversity of the area, from 300 meters above sea level to the high peaks. Nearly 1,000 plant species are safeguarded here. Along the way illustrative educational panels and with specific botanical signs will provide you with opportunities to learn more.
It is also interesting to participate in various events at the park, such as a string concert, the telling of the history and legends of plants.
For younger children there is the possibility of participating in workshops and educational activities, also in cooperation with schools of all levels.
