The garden aims to integrate botany, ecology, and philosophy. It contains about 250 species organized into the following sections: medicinal plants (about 60 species), trees and shrubs of the Venetian landscape, vegetables and fruits, and a small collection of ornamental plants. It also contains a small covered area, about forty seats, which serves as a site for lectures and short courses on botanical subjects.
