Gardens and Botanical Heritage

Bordighera is a town where greenery has always been part of the landscape. Historic gardens, palm trees, monumental trees, subtropical plants and Mediterranean vegetation coexist between the sea and the hills, creating an environment unlike anywhere else in Liguria.

The mild climate throughout the year has encouraged, since the 19th century, the growth of species from all over the world. Botanists, artists and travellers were fascinated by this variety of colours and shapes, helping to make Bordighera one of the symbolic places of the Riviera dei Fiori.

Walking through the gardens and green spaces of Bordighera means discovering an essential part of the town’s identity: a landscape made of nature, light, scents and views that still define the city today.
