No.There is no need to wait for spring to discover new plants and plan your garden. Orticola has decided to start a small tour throughout Italy. It starts with a small exhibition of the most important historical gardens of Lombardy at the “Zagara” (Botanical Garden of the University of Palermo, October 28-30) and the guidelines for the restoration of historic gardens al Conservatory of Mantua (10 November)promoted by the Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts and Landscape.
Horticultural in Palermo
The collaboration between Orticola di Lombardia and the historic Botanical Garden of the University of Palermo has been active for some years and has led to the twinning between Orticola, the traditional exhibition-market that has taken place since 1996 at the Indro Montanelli Public Gardens in Milan in the second weekend in May, and the Orange Blossom, the exhibition-market organized every year at the Botanical Garden of Palermo, now in its twenty-third edition.
Palermo to Orticola
In the next edition of Orticola, from 11 to 14 May 2023, some of the most important gardens of Palermo will in turn be on display: the initiative stems from the desire to make known important pieces of the historical, botanical and landscape heritage of our country present at the two climatic extremes of the peninsula; moreover, the initiative aims to promote the knowledge of places less known to the Lombard and Sicilian public and to further stimulate the ever-growing botanical tourism in a North-South dialogue that can only increase the love for Italian heritage.
