While they share characteristics with parks, gardens typically focus more on floral biodiversity and curated landscaping than on large recreational expanses.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> === Contents ===<br /> <br /> #Characteristics<br /> #Factors affecting gardens<br /> #Notable Examples<br /> <br /> === Characteristics ===<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Raised Beds:&#039;&#039;&#039; To protect plants from the lagoon&#039;s high salt content and frequent flooding (&#039;&#039;Acqua Alta&#039;&#039;), many Venetian gardens utilize &#039;&#039;&#039;raised beds&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Ownership:&#039;&#039;&#039; A vast majority of gardens in Venice are private, belonging to historic palaces, hotels, or residential apartments.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Biodiversity:&#039;&#039;&#039; They often contain a wide variety of unpotted trees, shrubs, and flowers designed for visual appeal and scents.<br /> <br /> === Factors affecting gardens ===<br /> &lt;p&gt;The primary challenge for Venetian gardens is &#039;&#039;&#039;accessibility&#039;&#039;&#039;, as approximately 75% of the city&#039;s total green space area is privately owned and inaccessible to the general public. Environmentally, gardens are highly vulnerable to &#039;&#039;&#039;saltwater contamination&#039;&#039;&#039; if they are not elevated.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> === Notable Examples ===<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Giardini Reali (San Marco):&#039;&#039;&#039; Originally a private royal space, it was restored and opened to the public in 2019.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Giardino Mistico (Cannaregio):&#039;&#039;&#039; A secluded garden that offers conditional access to the public through tickets and reservations.</div>
