The garden, boasting a total area of 150,000 square meters, cultivates approximately 400 different types of plants.

There are also herb gardens and rose gardens, delighting the eyes and noses of visitors.
The Easter events in May and June, and the time in October when the salvias are in full bloom, are particularly popular. The
endless red carpet of flowers is truly breathtaking.
On sunny days, the rural landscape at the foot of the mountain stretches out below, making the scenery even more beautiful.
