È La Via Dell’ Orto – Gardening Show in Camaiore

It is the Via dell’Orto: festival of gardens, seeds, herbs and herbaria is an event organized annually by the Municipality of Camaiore. The event is also part of the “friend demonstrations” circuit to which the main Italian gardening and horticulture market exhibitions have joined, including: “Verdemura” and “Murabilia” of Lucca, “Harborea” of Livorno, ” Franciacorta in fiore ”,“ Florealfest ”in Udine and“ Orticolario ”in Como.
