In the Botanical Gardens of Villa Taranto in Verbania-Pallanza, summer promises to be a season full of events: concerts, evening visits and outdoor Yoga lessons, and much more awaits you in the gardens of the Scottish captain Neil McEacharn.
From June 16 to August 29 the gates of the park - on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - will exceptionally remain open until 8:45 pm
Located on the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore between Intra and Pallanza, the garden took shape starting in 1935 in the property that the Scottish captain Neil McEacharn had purchased from the Marchioness of Sant'Elia with the ambition of creating a botanical complex of international value.
Born in southern Scotland in 1884, McEacharn came from a wealthy family of Scottish nobility, and his name appears in that small category of passionate gentlemen of the twentieth century who managed to travel around the world several times (it seems seven times, the first at 16 years old) in search of ever new plants to acclimatize in their gardens.
Trusting in the beauty of the place, the Captain was able to reconcile aesthetic and botanical needs, helped by the English gardener Henry Cocker, and lived here until his death in 1964.
Discover all the events in program.
