- Giardino del Museo Stibbert - This expansive English park features intriguing monuments, fountains, and sculptures. It offers a complex network of paths that wind through the greenery, complete with seating areas and scenic viewpoints. The towering vegetation includes pines, oaks, horse chestnuts, and lindens, with striking cypresses, some of which likely predate the Stibbert restoration.
The romantic highlight is the pond, bordered by a small temple in neo-Egyptian style. The driveway, adorned with a series of sculptures and classical busts, is a characteristic feature of the original Italian garden.
- Orti del Parnaso - Approaching from via Trento, visitors will notice an elegant gate and a captivating belvedere. This is the entrance to the Parnassus Gardens, the highest section of the Orticultura garden, offering a stunning terrace with a breathtaking view.
- Giardino dell’Orticoltura - The Garden of Horticulture in Florence was established in the mid-1800s. In 1854, as gardening became more popular, the Accademia dei Georgofili founded the Società Toscana di Orticoltura. This led to the creation of an experimental garden in 1859, when the Society was granted a plot of land by the Marquis Ludovico Ginori.
