Lonely Planet review for Orto Botanico

Maria Teresa had the towering gingko planted here in 1777, when she turned the former Jesuit veggie patch into an open air lecture hall for budding botanists (the wunderkind of the Enlightenment). This fragrant, walled garden is still filled with medicinal plants and is a perfect nature fix after the culture onslaught of the Pinacoteca.
