Hearing impediments

The entrance does not present any difficulty for the hearing impaired.
Introductory panels help guests access and visit the facility on their own.
At the entrance and along the museum itinerary there are a few theme panels with a map; at a few points, a QR code is available to obtain more in-depth information.
The itinerary dedicated to children is marked with a specific symbol.
Further explanatory panels are currently being prepared for some sections, e.g. “useful plants”.
Further information on the herbarium are available through the link to the website, which also features downloadable pdf guides (only in italian).
The language used in the explanatory panels requires discrete language skills, also due to the presence of many technical notions.
There are no means of visual communication in case of emergency in the bathrooms.

Motor disability and mobility issues

At the main entrance, there is a 65 cm wide gate and an 8 cm barrier on the lower part.
An automatic gate is found after the entrance. Visitors need to buzz to gain access and, upon request, they may enter with their car.
The garden paths are made of pebbles and the main parts feature a grid (plasticised).
Some stretches are uneven and consist of dirt tracks.

Visual impediments

The itinerary is mainly outdoors on pebbles, dirt tracks, and grass partly covered with grids. The paths are partially identifiable by the visually impaired, but an escort is recommended.
The vegetation in the Botanical Garden can be partially explored manually, but the presence of a local member of staff is preferable to indicate the plants that can be touched and to offer explanations.
There is also a collection of educational plant or trunk section models which are also suitable for tactile exploration by the visually impaired.
Operators are committed to carrying out specific training to welcome visually impaired guests.
There are no Braille or large-font explanatory texts and even partially-sighted visitors will find labels difficult to read.
