Giardino Fenologico Carlo Allioni
The Giardino Fenologico Carlo Allioni, located in Moncalieri, Italy, is a botanical garden that focuses on the scientific study of plant phenology—the timing of plant life cycles and how they are influenced by seasonal and interannual variations in climate. Named after the renowned botanist Carlo Allioni, the garden serves as a living laboratory for researchers and a place of learning for visitors. It features a diverse collection of plant species, each meticulously monitored to track the timing of leafing, flowering, and fruiting. This data contributes to a better understanding of environmental changes and their impact on plant life. The garden is not only a center for research but also a tranquil green space where the public can appreciate the beauty and complexity of the plant kingdom. Its educational programs aim to raise awareness about the importance of phenological studies in the context of global climate change, making it a valuable resource for both the scientific community and the general public interested in botany and environmental science.
