He was from Scottish nobility who owned a large shipping company, as well as iron and coal mines and much land. This wealth allowed him to dedicate himself to the two great passions of his life: botanic gardening and travelling. Captain McEacharn donated his property to the Italian government. The gardens have been open to the public since 1952.</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/">Blithe</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943804 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 20:48:37 GMT https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943808 <p><a href="https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943808"><img src="https://www.23hq.com/23707330/24943808_5603853763fdc800a97602fb95ab3a51_standard.jpg" width="460" height="307" class="23-standard"/></a></p><p>Treefern Valley</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/">Blithe</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943808 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 20:48:43 GMT https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943809 <p><a href="https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943809"><img src="https://www.23hq.com/23707326/24943809_659a5f71ea6c490f7c34295cf106c0fa_standard.jpg" width="460" height="294" class="23-standard"/></a></p><p>Lilac Hydrangea</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/">Blithe</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943809 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 20:48:48 GMT https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943811 <p><a href="https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943811"><img src="https://www.23hq.com/23707325/24943811_70833b1bbc02c1a5fb1f4a20ae566efb_standard.jpg" width="460" height="307" class="23-standard"/></a></p><p>Hydrangea</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/">Blithe</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943811 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 20:48:53 GMT https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943813 <p><a href="https://www.23hq.com/Blithe/photo/24943813"><img src="https://www.23hq.com/23707332/24943813_a9af599be825f5c34d369a8ecad62cd6_standard.jpg" width="460" height="297" class="23-standard"/></a></p><p>Putti Fountain -
