On Monday April 6, the famous Italian Pasquetta, will be organized for the eighteenth time the fun ‘Botanical Treasure Hunt’, an event held by the Grandi Giardini Italiani organization -an association that gathers the most beautiful and visited gardens of Italy- that has transformed this action into a fixed appointment for many families during the festivities that are held in Italy on the occasion of Easter.
A great opportunity to bring the little ones of the house to nature, inviting them to discover in the funniest way the different kinds of trees, plants and flowers found in botanical gardens and parks.
Besides the fun aspect that involves finding the beautiful Easter eggs decorated and scattered through all these gardens for children to find and fill their baskets with them, it means also an authentic initiation in relation to the world of botany.
While children are busily engaged in finding these small colorful treasures, adults can sign up for guided tours of the gardens that are synonymous with excellence and sensitivity to the green culture.
