Orto Botanico di Padova: microclima e giardino di cactacee
A cactarium or cactuario (from Latin, cactarium) is a garden dedicated to the planting of cacti. While they generally specialize in collecting cacti, they can also include other desert plants such as sabla, agaves or Crassulaceae, although this would better be termed "xeriscaping".
Cacti are succulent plants native to the American continent, typical of arid environments. They require dry conditions and therefore, in many countries, the collections are kept in greenhouses that protect from rain. Due to their low need for water, they are a sustainable landscaping option.
Cactariums also tend to host plants from other botanical families, native to the desert regions of the world.

The Orto Botanico di Padova
is a botanical garden in Padua, in the northeastern part of Italy. Founded in 1545 by the Venetian Republic, it is the world's oldest academic botanical garden that is still in its original location. The garden, affiliated with the University of Padua, currently covers roughly 22,000 square meters, and is known for its special collections and historical design.
The world's first botanical garden was created in Padua in 1545.
It still preserves its original layout – a circular central plot, symbolizing the world, surrounded by a ring of water. Other elements were added later, some architectural (ornamental entrances and balustrades) and some practical (pumping installations and greenhouses). It continues to serve its original purpose as a centre for scientific research.
ABOUT 7,000 BOTANICAL SPECIES The botanical garden as a site for the conservation of biodiversity. Considering that only 10% of the plant species on earth is known, the role of point of research is extremely valuable. The new botanical garden hosts about 7,000 plant species. refresh.
