Every year in early April there is a wonderful plant expo on the wall of Lucca, Verdemura. We go each year in search of some interesting plants for our garden and we find them. Most of our plants come from local nurseries which are excellent, but at Verdemura we find more unusual things.
This year Verdemura is being held on Baluardo San Donato and Baluardo Santa Croce and the wall in between. There is an entrance near Porta Santa Anna, one at Castello San Donato and near Baluardo Santa Croce. You can pick up a trolley at each end. (You will need to leave identification)
Today we found some gorgeous peonies, lupins, a black raspberry some stunning poppies and bleeding hearts.
There is also food and some great products.
Entry costs €7 and €4 for concessions. Verdemura is open tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. Tomorrow from 9.30 – 19.00. Sunday 9.30 – 19.00. Last tickets sold at 18.00.
