Opened to the public in 1991 by the Berardo foundation, the gardens cover some 700 acres and also house a museum and an important ceramic tile collection which is interspersed throughout site. The museum is on three floors, two of which are allocated to sculptures, the lower floor houses a unique private collection of minerals, precious and semi-precious gemstones from all over the world, entitled ‘Mother Nature’s Secrets’. The tropical gardens themselves will delight the whole family, with bridges, fountains and a maze of pathways, together with swans, ducks, peacocks and Chinese and Japanese cultural structures. Not to be missed.
