Please be advised that our garden is a historic site with dirt paths, stone ramps and stairs. While we strive to maintain them in the best possible condition, rain may cause water and mud accumulation along the route, making surfaces slippery. Please exercise caution when navigating ramps and stairs.

Access to the Bonsai Glasshouse from the Patio del Tilo
Access to the Bonsai Glasshouse is through Patio del Tilo. Please be cautions, as the floor is made of cobblestones.
As you enter, you will find the toilets on the left-hand side, including female, male and an accessible mixed use restroom.
In the centre of the courtyard stands our beautiful Linden tree, and to the right, you will see the entrance door to the exhibition. This door consists of two glass panels, both of which can be opened by pushing or pulling.
Kindly ensure that the door remains closed at all times to protect our bonsai from the cold. Please also note that the same door is used for both entrance and exit.
