The botanical gardens at Giardini Botanici di Villa Taranto are open every day, including holidays!

Who has been in Verbania, on Lake Maggiore, for a long time or just for one season or even only for a summer afternoon, has certainly visited the Gardens of Villa Taranto, they are well-known all around the world, and even the hastiest visitor spends a couple of hours to stroll along the paths.
Today's appearance is not natural, but the result, of an arduous elaboration undertaken by Captain McEacharn in 1931.
Coming into the gardens of Villa Taranto is just like making a travel through foreign lands.
The first spring flowers will bloom in April: edgeworthias, prunus, magnolias, forsythias, daffodils and tulips.
