The garden was founded by Franciszek Roccaforte Tornabene, and the first plantings took place in 1862. Individual specimens were obtained from other botanical gardens in Sweden, France, Naples and Palermo. Today, the garden is divided into two main parts: the first gathers exotic plants, the second cultivates Sicilian species.
