Orticolario 2023 celebrated its 13th edition from September 28 to October 1, in the beautiful park of Villa Erba in Cernobbio, on Lake Como.
The theme was “Water Landscapes”, with a special focus on plants for sustainable gardens.
Anna Rapisarda, curator of the event, introduced the 2023 edition of Orticolario with these words:
“The ancestral relationship between humans and water is a connection as ancient as it is intimate. The history of water and its landscapes reflects the history of the world, while our sense of belonging to places shapes our behaviour.”
Water Landscapes: The Theme of the 13th Edition
The Water Landscapes theme explored water in both natural environments and urban settings.
The event aimed to highlight the importance of water and encourage its careful, responsible and conscious use.
Plants for a Sustainable Garden
During the four days of Orticolario 2023, visitors explored different aspects of the relationship between plants and water.
From moisture-loving plants in water gardens to drought-tolerant species in dry gardens, every plant has a unique connection with this essential element.
Through this exploration, Orticolario 2023 guided visitors on a journey into the relationship between nature and water.
In addition, the event highlighted the different habitats where plants grow and the importance of choosing suitable species for sustainable gardens.
