    (Translated by Google) A hidden gem. For everyone Genoa is the port and the aquarium, but there are little known corners and places. The botanical garden is growing. There are four well maintained greenhouses where there is a beautiful collection of ferns and orchids. The people who work here are very helpful and friendly. I recommend it for all fans and not. (Original) Un gioiello nascosto. Per tutti Genova è il porto e l' acquario, ma ci sono angoli e luoghi poco conosciuti. L'orto botanico è in crescita. Ci sono quattro serre ben mantenute dove è presente una bella collezione di felci e di orchidee. Le persone che lavorano qui sono molto disponibili e cordiali. La consiglio per tutti gli appassionati e non.

    A nice botanic garden, with a great view of the city. It could be kept in better conditions, though.

    Very minimal botanical garden. Tons of shade leads to very limited blooming flowers. Needs to be cleaned of weeds and add more labels.

    Beautiful gardens, some plants had suffered after the dry summer months. Please visit, there is lots of hard work being done to return it to its full beauty.

    Little garden with nice view and a multitude of beautiful flowers and trees. Provides a nice oases in the city.

    It is a lovely garden,beautiful plants plus tranquil places to sit. However it is in need of a lot of care and attention. It is free but perhaps they should consider a small entrance fee to pay for some work to maintain the gardens in better condition.

    Interesting botanical garden with free entry. Many varieties including ferns, tall stems and cycads. Overall a nice place but not very well looked after and not very accessible with a stroller, both to get there and to move around the internal stairs

    A place full of things to learn from. We have been there several times for the workshops organized by ADM and it was really nice. The only thing I would pay more attention to is cleanliness, especially in the area where the workshops with children are held. It is a place where there is a little dust for goodness sake, but certainly a little more order and attention would be perfect. Congratulations to all the young scientists who transmit their knowledge with great passion!

    A garden that transports you to a different era as well as giving the city an enrichment in beauty

    der garten wäre schön, wäre er nicht so verwildert. mir gefällt es durchaus wenn gärten urwaldlartig aussehen mit vielen pflanzen, aber hier findet man hauptsächlich hochwachsendes gras, teile des gartens sind komplett unzugänglich, alles sieht so heruntergekommen aus. anscheinend wird hier null investiert, auch nicht an personal. man sieht selten jemand der hier arbeitet. ausserdem habe ich mir die katzen dort näher angesehen, und mindestens eine ist krank. als ich versucht habe die mitarbeiter darauf anzusprechen, wurde es nur heruntergespielt, mit den worten:"den katzen hier geht es gut, sie bekommen jedentag futter und milch." wobei doch jeder langsam begriffen haben müsste dass kuhmilch für katzen ungeeignet ist da es durchfall und verdauungsbeschwerden verursachen kann. die leute die hier arbeiten sind wohl alle fremd vom fach. (Translated by Google) the garden would be beautiful if it weren't so overgrown. i really like it when gardens have a jungle look with lots of plants, but here you will mainly find tall grass, parts of the garden are completely inaccessible, everything looks so run down. apparently zero is invested here, not even in personnel. you rarely see anyone working here. I also took a closer look at the cats there and at least one is sick. when i tried to talk to the staff about it, they only downplayed it with the words: "the cats here are fine, they get food and milk every day." although everyone should have slowly understood that cow's milk is unsuitable for cats because it can cause diarrhea and digestive problems. the people who work here are probably all strangers to the subject.

    (Translated by Google) It could be better taken care of, but the visit with the children was very interesting. (Original) Potrebbe essere più curato, ma la visita con i bambini è stata molto interessante.

    (Translated by Google) It would be a beautiful botanical garden if maintained. It is completely neglected and cannot even enter the greenhouse. If you are walking to it, use the shortcut through the University building. It can also serve as a good vantage point. (Original) Bila bi to lepa botanička bašta kada bi se održavala. Potpuno je zapuštena, a u staklenik se ne može ni ući. Ako idete do nje pešice, koristite prečicu kroz zgradu Univerziteta. Može vam poslužiti i kao dobar vidikovac.

    (Translated by Google) A little gem practically unknown to the Genoese. A wonderful guide that made us passionate. We will definitely be back. (Original) Un piccolo gioiello praticamente sconosciuto ai genovesi. Una guida meravigliosa che ci ha fatto appassionare. Torneremo sicuramente.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful, run by smart people! I didn't think the greenhouse was so big and with such tall plants! It would be nice if there was a way to make more people work and contribute to the maintenance of this beautiful botanical garden! (Original) Bellissimo, gestito da persone in gamba! Non credevo fosse così grande la serra e con piante tanto alte! Sarebbe bello se ci fosse modo di far lavorare più persone e contribuire al mantenimento di questo bellissimo orto botanico!
