A sensorial journey centered on smell in the name of beauty and inclusiveness.

The Spinarosa Botanical Garden is located in the heart of a land that was once agricultural, now returned to the ownership of natural spontaneous cycles: over 8 thousand square meters and 1750 species of plants, some rare, the perfect place to learn the therapeutic value of beauty.
Here we organize guided tours, botanical and meditative painting workshops for adults and children, nature photography, landscape and macro photography workshops, but also theater, music and dance performances.
Poets and writers can present and read their works inspired by the natural landscape and passion for plants.
The Spinarosa Botanical Garden can be visited (guided tours only) by reservation at the number +39 347 8840017; in addition, membership in the homonymous Cultural Association allows participation in initiatives such as structured gardening courses, lessons on the theme of the garden, plant purchasing groups and botanical tours.

We propose you a sensorial journey under the expert guidance of Maurizio, a psychologist in love with botany, open to all but with particular attention to visually impaired people (with a companion), who will be able to enjoy a unique experience in a wonderful naturalistic context.
The route consists of a guided "eyes closed" itinerary to discover a variety of over 1600 plants, some uncommon and collected in thematic collections.
In addition to the more classic ones such as sage, thyme, oregano and rosemary, here you will find various types of hellebore, strawberry tree, poisonous, aromatic and medicinal plants, roses, oaks, viburnums and bamboo, jasmine, passion flowers, citrus fruits and succulents resistant to intense cold.
The sensory journey lasts between an hour and an hour and a half and, at the end of the journey, there is a small tasting of some plant infusions from the Botanical Garden.
It is necessary to be equipped with shoes suitable for hiking.
The suitable period for sensory experience is, approximately, from mid-April to mid-November.
