The garden was inaugurated in 1866 under the direction of Prof. Patrizio Gennari. Its first seed index was published in 1885, and by 1901 the garden contained some 430 species (of which 36 were killed by that year's deep frost). The garden was damaged in World War II but has subsequently been restored.
Today the garden contains some 2000 species, predominantly of Mediterranean origin but with a good collection of succulents and tropical plants as well. The garden is organized into three major sections:
Mediterranean plants – representing the three bands of Sardinian vegetation as well as species from Australia, California, Chile, etc.
All told, the garden contains some 600 trees and 550 shrubs. Of particular interest is its palm collection (4000 m2), with 60 specimens representing 16 species, and a magnificent specimen of Euphorbia canariensis spreading across 100 m2. The site also contains ancient Roman cisterns and natural caves.
