About
The university's botanical garden covers 6.6 hectares around Villa Lafranconi. The greenhouses draw the most visitors: a palm house, a cactus house, an Australian house and the Victoria house of tropical water plants, linked by corridors of orchids, ferns and bromeliads.
Outside are a rose garden with 120 kinds of roses, rock gardens built from seven types of stone, a peat bog and a Japanese garden.
