There are many reasons why GEA is a treasure for the city of Pistoia and for Tuscany. First and foremost, it is an oasis of greenery and nature in the heart of the city. In addition, the park plays a vital role in safeguarding the environment, helping to reduce air pollution and increase biodiversity.
A Collection of Plants
The park contains a wide variety of flora and fauna, including an exceptional collection of ornamental plants from around the world.
Educational Activities and Open Days
Thanks to its green areas, GEA also provides spaces (by reservation) for teaching as well as for outdoor recreational activities. During Open Days it is possible to visit the entire facility and participate in many open-air initiatives. The park is also a place for the people of Pistoia to enjoy art, with works that tell the story of humankind and of the natural world that surrounds us.
Ideal for Conferences
There is a space devoted to sharing knowledge and scientific discoveries in the park that is available for meetings, seminars, and workshops.
