Ovada, an ancient Roman hub between Orba and Stura, hosts the “Fiorissima” market exhibition in the Sandro Pertini Park. In September, the event features 34 exhibitors with plants, furnishings, artisanal products and food. The program includes interventions on post-drought gardens and permaculture, with a focus on sustainable practices such as balcony compost. The event, scheduled for September 10 and 11, celebrates nature, the culture of greenery and respect for the environment.

Fiorissima Show 2022: The Ovada autumn fair

What’s Fiorissima Show 2022? When it takes place Fiorissima Show 2022?

On 10 and 11 September we start immediately with a small, but delightful flower plant market exhibition in Ovada in the province of Alessandria, just over an hour from Milan.

The sixth edition of “Fiorissima 2022 – Florovivaistic Market Exhibition” should have been on the 17th and 18th, but it was brought forward so as not to overlap with anything else.

Where it takes place Fiorissima Show 2022?

First of all the place: Ovada.

This town, already mentioned in the letters of Decimo Bruto and Cicerone, has been a small but important hub since Roman times due to the obligation to cross as a point of union between the Orba and Stura rivers.

In Ovada in the nineteenth century the gardens and orchards of Palazzo Maineri were united with those of Palazzo Scassi-Buffa by the hand of the Reverend Pie Franzoniane, allowing the birth of the municipal public park later named after the beloved Sandro Pertini.

In this municipal park, the market exhibition is held in spring and autumn the FIORISSIMA SHOW.

Fiorissima Show 2022: What awaits us within this event?

Now that we have discovered what Fiorissima is, where it will take place and when, let’s move on to the details of this sixth edition of the Ovada horticultural market exhibition.

First of all 34 plant exhibitors from which you can buy the latest news in terms of crops and interesting ceramic garden decorations, iron furniture, floral-themed fabrics and jewelry but also jams, honeys and syrups.

A personal report goes to earthworms. Even with a not very inviting appearance, these little animals help the garden a lot to feed. So I warmly invite you to buy them from the earthwormer present in the event!

Fiorissima Show 2022: The scheduled events not to be missed

When you have bought everything you need to live happily ever after, you can enjoy the interesting presentations:

Saturday the esteemed Mr. Mati,

at the head of one of the most important Italian nursery structures and farsighted mind, he will present the current topic “The garden after the drought” (of which I hope an excerpt will be created) and the children’s book “Linn and the secret of the alchemical herbarium” to sensitize future generations on the theme of the environment and its related problems.

Domenica Diana Pace and Enrico Cantamessa

they will introduce the topic of Permaculture, a philosophy (but very practical) that provides for a responsible and respectful use of the earth based on recycling, showing its implementation even in the garden or on the balcony.
