It wasn’t great weather for the first day of Verde Mura, the garden show on the wall of Lucca, but it didn’t stop the crowds.
We went in search of peonies and hydrangeas for our mountain house, but it also fun to wander to see all the gorgeous plants on offer.
There are other things to see and buy too, not all garden related.
It wouldn’t be an exhibition without food.
Verdemura is on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd of April as well. Don’t miss it if you are in the area. http://www.verdemura.it
We found peonies, georgeous hydrangeas, aquilegias, daphne, and some acanthus…which will all be planted today.

It is a great event. As you rightly recommend: not to be missed.
Looks wonderful. Wish it was on in early May
Looking forward to checking it out this afternoon or tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder.
So lovely to see all the colourful and interesting garden ornaments and the beautiful plants of course.
It must be about a year since I finally met you, in Lucca!
Looking forward to seeing photos of your purchases in your garden!
I went today , saturday , it must have been 22-24c down there !!! Good atmosphere and well worth a visit 🙂
Sounds like a busy time ahead in the garden!
A wonderful event indeed … as if people needed another reason to stroll the wall.
