Horticultural Park
3000 plant species
5000 varieties
Radicepura Horticultural Park is a multifunctional space set between Etna and the Ionian Sea, where it is possible to relive the most authentic traditions of Sicily, immersed in the purity and wonder of nature. An unusual place and a dream come true. Venerando Faro demonstrates his legendary experience in international nursery gardening, expressing his passion in 5 hectares of land, 3000 plant species, a seed archive and structures dedicated to hospitality and private events. A point of reference for congress tourism and – since 2017, thanks to the creation of the Radicepura Garden Festival – a centre of excellence where researchers, landscape gardeners, operators in the plant sector and nature enthusiasts express their creativity.
A single venue subdivided into various areas, created to play host to corporate conventions, botanical
educational events, studies of Mediterranean flora and every other desire and need with the utmost
functionality and an ever-changing beauty. The nursery park is an ambitious project that places a centre of international excellence, as well as one of the most important centres for the collection of germplasm: bushes, flowers, trees, rare palms, medicinal and aromatic herbs that create a veritable archive for experimentation and education.
