It was a love of nature that lead an English family to create a botanical garden near Ventimiglia, beginning in 1867, in order to acclimatize plants from many different climatic zones of the world which would benefit from the favourable position and in particular the mild climate of what was to become the Hanbury Botanical Gardens.
