The 19 March opening ceremony included a symbolic gesture, the planting of a medlar tree and a new plaque in the Prato delle Personalit\u00e0 &#8211; Personality Meadow. The park is thus bursting back into life now with a packed calendar: 95 events including guided trips, cultural appointments, outdoor activities and meetings designed to get everyone involved, local people, including families, and tourists. The true spectacle is nature, however, as always. In spring the garden is bursting with colours: azaleas, magnolias and over 14,000 tulips in the maze are turning the park\u2019s avenues into an immersive and constantly changing journey. The rhododendrons, dogwoods and ornamental plants flower in April and May while summer means hydrangeas, hibiscus, water lilies and exquisite lotus flowers. And when the season slows down, it is autumn camelias which bring it to a close in style. The gardens are also the ideal place in which to carve out a moment of true green wellness for yourself, a stroll through plants from all over the world, breathing in deeply and slowing down, letting nature\u2019s rhythms guide you. A trip to Villa Taranto is not just a visit. It\u2019s an experience in constant flux, just as the gardens\u2019 founder would have wanted. And this year there\u2019s more. The gardens are opening up to the community, with free days for local people and lots of inclusive initiatives.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"733\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"18457\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iStock-692526664-733x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iStock-692526664-733x1024.jpg 733w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iStock-692526664-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iStock-692526664-768x1073.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iStock-692526664-1099x1536.jpg 1099w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iStock-692526664-1465x2048.jpg 1465w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iStock-692526664-360x504.jpg 360w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iStock-692526664-750x1048.jpg 750w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iStock-692526664-1140x1593.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iStock-692526664-scaled.jpg 1832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Villa Taranto and it&#8217;s gardes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"1197\" data-id=\"18461\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Andrea-Cottini-e1777478989686.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Andrea-Cottini-e1777478989686.jpg 756w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Andrea-Cottini-e1777478989686-189x300.jpg 189w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Andrea-Cottini-e1777478989686-647x1024.jpg 647w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Andrea-Cottini-e1777478989686-750x1188.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The director Andrea Cottini during the event<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:54px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"18460\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/97224C1-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/97224C1-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/97224C1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/97224C1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/97224C1-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/97224C1-1-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/97224C1-1-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/97224C1-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Villa Taranto&#8217;s gardens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The botanical gardens are coming back to life with guided visits and new events open to all The new Villa Taranto Botanic Gardens season has officially begun.
