Orticolario brings a touch of Italian style to the world of gardening with the aim of exploring how nature can inspire. The three-day gardening show is held in the grounds of Villa Erba 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. The show encourages visitors to bring colour, scent and new creations to the fore in their own gardens, no matter how large or small.
Held in early autumn, the show will allow visitors to view show gardens from an international selection of designers exploring the theme of ‘creative spaces’. Expert nurserymen will be on hand to offer advice on the best plants for late season interest, and there’s seasonal food and drink to be savoured.
