The nature that reawakens every year takes the same steps, cadenced and linked to well-defined ecological and climatic factors. Have you ever wondered why the first spring blooms only occur in certain places? And why is the flowering of these species so limited in time and occurs so early, when the temperatures are still too cold for the other species?
Winter break is over! We are delighted to announce that the Carsiana Botanical Garden will reopen its doors to the public on March 21, 2023! Throughout the winter we have worked with a lot of care and passion to present it to you at its best and finally now we can see each other again!
In Carsiana, with a pinch of charm, we will take you on a small enchanted journey, from the hedges of the Shire to the Druadan Forest, to discover the trees, shrubs and forest landscapes of Middle-earth.
The whole Karst was once under water, in a warm, shallow sea. Many organisms lived in this sea and deposited their shells on the seabed over the millennia. These shells gave rise to the karst rock, which still contains traces of its ancient inhabitants.
At a time when nature is stripped of the green leaves and what accompanies our gaze during the walk in the garden are the beautiful karst shapes that the water has modeled, the Carsiana Botanical Garden invites you on a journey into the geological past of the sinkhole to discover the geodiversity of the botanical garden and its link with biodiversity, with an interesting insight into the latest research on limestone rocks, geological paleoenvironments and microfossils.
