Flower in the botanical Gardens in Padua Italy which is part of the University of Padua
The Orto Botanico di Padova is a botanical garden in Padua, now in the northeastern part of Italy. Founded in 1545 by the Venetian Republic Republic of Venice, it is the world's oldest academic botanical garden that is still in its original garden, affiliated with the University of Padua, currently covers roughly 22,000 square meters, and is known for its special collections and historical design. It was devoted to the growth of medicinal plants, the so-called "simple plants" (Orto dei semplici) which produced natural remedies, and also to help students distinguish genuine medicinal plants from false ones. The Botanical Garden of Padua is the original of all botanical gardens throughout the world, and represents the birth of science, of scientific exchanges, and understanding of the relationship between nature and culture. It has made a profound contribution to the development of many modern scientific disciplines, notably botany, medicine, chemistry, ecology and pharmacy.
