Life in Rome – Festival del Verde e Paesaggio

The other week I went to the sixth annual flowers and plants show at Parco della Musica for the first time.  These festivals are held throughout Italy during the Spring.

The weather was terrible!  I’m glad I went on Friday when it was just cloudy. Saturday it poured buckets.  I had to work that day on a client’s terrace.  We couldn’t reschedule the gardeners because they were completely booked this month.

I had a great time at the show and look forward to checking it out next year.  So many beautiful plants to buy, so little space.  I wish I had a garden.

It’s fun for families too.  There was a children’s section, several food trucks, and a “school” offering classes in floral arrangements, gardening tips, etc.

I adore Cosmos.  I was looking for these flowers everywhere.  Too late for me to plant now, but I will wait for them next year.

These bucket “mini gardens” lining the step of Parca della Musica were fantastic.
