Win a trip to Orticolario, one of Italy’s premier gardening events, held on the shores of Lake Como, 28 September – 1 October 2023
Now in its 13th year, Italy’s stylish garden show Orticolario will be dedicated to plants for a sustainable garden. The four-day gardening show is held in the grounds of Villa Erba, Cernobbio, overlooking Lake Como, and brings together top designers, nurseries and garden product companies, all with an eye to the very best in gardening, art and design. Alongside this theme of sustainability, the show takes a look at the water landscape – both what we can do with water and how we might plant without it.
Held just as the seasons tip from summer to autumn, Orticolario gathers together a range of rare, unusual and collectible plants, craftsmanship and design with about 270 carefully selected exhibitors, talks, creative workshops, entertainment and seasonal food and drink. To find out more about the show and events taking place, go to eng.orticolario.it
