A day dedicated to Spring’s scents and colours awaits you in Milan’s city centre: it’s almost time for the Orticola fair, with its 160 wonderful exhibitors from all over Italy and Europe. Orticola has reached its XXI edition and it is a show-market of flowers and rare, unusual, plants for gardening and nature lovers. Nurserymen, artists and green designers present their products building a path for the eyes, nose and soul. Orchids, roses and carnations…but even plants for balconies and vegetable gardens. Ideas and suggestions fora green way of life and home. Founded in 1865 by Count Francesco Pertusati along with 150 members, including the Prince Umberto of Savoy, the Horticultural Society of Lombardy will delight the city with new exhibitors and new initiatives.
Among the many talented exhibitors, “Rose Barni” deserves some words. Since 1882, in Pistoia, the Barni Family selects and creates roses: they have been committed to offering the entire world incredibly beautiful and charming plants. Barni leads a relentless quest for the recovery,reproduction and dissemination of rare and hard-to-find breedings, always winning awards and medals at the most important exhibitions in the world. Barni has a catalog of hundreds of roses and will beat Orticola displaying a selection of antique roses in pots. Not to be missed.
