In addition, it has around 250 species of plants , a Santa Claus Village and a space completely inspired by the city of Venice, so it is common to take gondola rides to transport you to the Italian canals.

According to its official website, the site was founded between 1997 and 1998 with the first Herb Festival , as part of the inauguration of the fragrance store and the opening to the public of the botanical garden.

Since then, the park has hosted various seasonal events, such as the Pink Muhly in the fall , where staff members cover the artificial trees and sand dunes in pink.
