Torre Cerrano Mediterranean Garden, in Pineto (Teramo), is located in a scenic area on the low sandy coast of Abruzzo.

Created in 1983, it hosts more than 30 plant species typical of the Mediterranean shrub and of the dune ecosystem like Paliurus spina-christi, Fraxinus ornus, Cornus mas, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Rhamnus alaternus, Pancratium maritimum, but also the rare Romulea rollii.

In this open-air museum one can admire the species in their natural habitat and discover their meaning, beauty and use made by locals in the past. In particular, the garden wants to raise awareness in young people and get them to know the world of plants respecting the single species but also the whole ecosystems, such as the Mediterranean shrub or the dune system that are very vulnerable.
