Orticolario 2025: Rare Plants, Art Installations and Nature in Cernobbio<\/h2>\n

From October 2 to 5, 2025, Orticolario 2025<\/strong> returned to Villa Erba in Cernobbio, on the shores of Lake Como. This international event celebrated nature, art and landscape culture.<\/p>\n

For four days, the historic 19th-century park became a vibrant setting for creativity. In addition, the event welcomed over 250 Italian and international exhibitors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Visitors had the opportunity to discover rare, unusual and collectible plants<\/strong>, alongside artistic handicrafts and impressive site-specific installations.<\/p>\n

The programme also included workshops, meetings with landscape designers and agronomists, and activities for children. As a result, Orticolario offered experiences for visitors of all ages.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Theme: Eden and Wild Edible Plants<\/h3>\n

The 15th edition of Orticolario explored the theme \u201cEden\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the idea of a primordial garden, the theme celebrated nature in its wildest and most authentic form. Rather than following strict rules, this imaginary garden encouraged freedom, biodiversity and discovery.<\/p>\n

In particular, the event focused on wild edible plants<\/strong>, known in Italian as piante alimurgiche.<\/p>\n

These naturally growing species highlighted the importance of foraging<\/strong>, the practice of gathering edible plants from the wild. Moreover, the theme encouraged visitors to rediscover a more sustainable relationship with nature.<\/p>\n

Must-See Installations at Orticolario 2025 on Lake Como<\/h3>\n

Among the most anticipated projects was \u201cDzonot\u201d<\/strong>, created by Jonathan Arnaboldi and Matteo Pellican\u00f2.<\/p>\n

The installation explored the relationship between light and shadow. At the same time, it invited visitors to reconnect with the untamed beauty of nature.<\/p>\n
