Verdemura, the annual garden show started today on the wall of Lucca. It is in a new spot near Porta San Donato and Porta Santa Anna.
There were not quite as many plants as last year. I think this cold spring has held back plant growth. There is still plenty to see and buy and it was a glorious day…perfect for some time on the wall.
Of course there is also food…cheese, salumi and a happy face.
Verdemura continues tomorrow and Sunday. Entry is €6.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
Wow.Lovely plants.
Those lemons look so lemony.
The plants were excellent.
That yellow and pink variegated rose is gorgeous!
The roses were magnificent.
Looks beautiful
A few treasures are planted at Casa Debbio.
Hi Debra. Thanks for the lovely photographs. Do I take it that the Lucca community is really into general gardening and not just vegetables? Most Italians I’ve met here in Aus have wonderful vegetable gardens but don’t bother a lot with flowers or other plants. I wish I was there for the show. Maree
There are some lovely gardens here, with colourful plants as well as vegetable gardens.
I’m sure a few of these beauties have made their way to Casa Debbio!
They did.
All those pretty colors! I’d have great difficulty holding myself back from buying one of everything.
We are on the lookout for specific things now.
Thank you for giving me a gorgeous day! Read your post last night and went to the Verdemura today! And such a beauiful day it was! My apartment in Firenze has no yard… but there was a wonderful selection of shade plants… The helebros was a steal! Two orchid vendors!
Beautiful big begonia bulbs! Thank you!
I am pleased you enjoyed your day in Lucca. We go to Verdemura every year, we love it.
