The great botanic collection, made and makes the park a landscape piece of art, a collage of colors and fragrances constantly changing.

Some of them are considered proper natural monuments, a green giant. In the Royal Garden we find, behind the villa, two twins oaks’ specimens, presents in the list of the monumental trees of Italy. Since two centuries the monumental tree staring the facade of Royal Villa.

Next to them, in the regal garden, we find a fragrance that comes from all over the world: the ginkgo, of Japanese origin, the American redwood with the reddish trunk, the tulip tree of Canada, and the Lebanon cedar.

Commissioned by Ferdinando Dasburg, passionate botanist, the essences were selected from the Regia’s gardener. Later the botanical collection was enriched with new species.
