Visit to the Botanical Dry Garden
€12,00
BotanicalDryGarden is the first dry botanical garden in Italy, a multifaceted space that blends landscape, art, and environmental sustainability.
BotanicalDryGarden, located in the heart of Tuscany's Maremma, is the first dry garden in Italy. The park is home to over 1,500 species and varieties of drought-tolerant plants, spread across an area of over 40,000 m².
The botanical garden combines landscape flair with environmental sensitivity: we chose to focus on perennial plants capable of surviving with very little irrigation and almost no maintenance.
The project was born from the desire to imagine a new way of connecting with greenery, recognizing and enhancing the natural intelligence of plants.
There is no set route: visiting BotanicalDryGarden means letting yourself be guided by your emotions, observing, exploring with curiosity, and taking your time to connect with nature and savor every sensation.
BotanicalDryGarden
It is a multifaceted space that hosts a contemporary art trail and an open-air theater, an ideal setting for concerts and events.
The park also features a vast maze made entirely of Mediterranean plants and the Survival Garden, an area dedicated to fruit trees and horticultural species.
Garden Art
Garden Art is a 500-meter path through cypress trees featuring contemporary works curated by Maurizio Cont, where nature, art, and landscape meet.
Theatre
A theater immersed in nature, with the Zoysia grass stage framed by cypress trees, and the stands created from the structures of the old greenhouses.
The Labyrinth of Daedalus
The entrance has three passages, symbolizing the different paths of life. Inside, concentric circles enclose nine areas, with small themed labyrinths to explore.
Survival Garden
Survival Garden® practices sustainable, productive agriculture rich in biodiversity, without the use of chemicals.

A wonderful place where plant care and innovation for the benefit of the plants themselves come first. Meticulously maintained gardens and projects for growing vegetable gardens on higher levels, aimed at saving water without losing sight of the needs of the crops themselves, also allowing to minimize pest attacks, without losing quality in the results. To put it briefly: excellence from every point of view, from design to implementation, safeguarding both the environment of the planet and the plants.

Beautiful botanical garden, especially the theater area where you can sit down and let the music soothe you—it's sublime.
Highly recommended if you want to switch off for an hour.

A wonderful place, unfortunately not very well known or appreciated... the owner personally showed us around, even outside visiting hours, to the top of the Zen-style wooden tower, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the park with its mazes and labyrinths,
explaining the challenging project of 'sustainable' agriculture in increasingly arid areas like this one in the Grosseto region!

FAQs
Usually, 40–60 minutes is enough time to take a nice walk around the park.
There are only a few shaded areas in the park, so during the summer months we recommend avoiding the middle of the day.
Dogs are allowed in the park, provided they are carried in a backpack or a pet stroller to protect the garden and its wildlife. You can use your own or rent a stroller for €7.00.
The pool is private and is not accessible to BotanicalDryGarden visitors.
