Bologna in Bloom: I love spring season. And you?<\/p>\n

The things I love most about this season are: the long days, the brightest light and the warmest air, the clouds that seem meringues, the sudden thunderstorms, the scent of rain and flowers, the buds on the trees, the flowering of the wisteria in Piazza Santo Stefano and that of the Japanese cherry trees in Via Pelagio Palagi and Via degli Orefici.<\/p>\n

\"Bologna<\/p>\n

Bologna celebrates the return of the warm season with many events dedicated to plants, flowers and gardening. I’m going to share with you all my favorite events and for this reason I called this blogpost Bologna in Bloom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Among them, 4 are the appointments expected by bolognesi (Bologna people).<\/p>\n

\"Bologna<\/p>\n

I would like to point out one in particular: it is known but discreetly, elegant but accessible, has all the shades of color of the wonderful peonies. Finally, it takes place in a location that is usually not accessible to the public. And this event is a great and unique opportunity to visit it.<\/p>\n

Giardini&Terrazzi (Gardens&Terraces)<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Bologna in spring means a walk to the Margherita gardens.
\nIf you want to spend a day in the open air or visit a new Bologna, choose the largest public park in the city, opened in 1879.<\/p>\n

For years it has hosted Giardini&Terrazze, an event dedicated to greenery and outdoor living. More than 250 exhibitors are expected, including producers and traders of plants and flowers, furniture and accessories for the home and garden, clothing, artistic crafts, vintage, wellness, pet and typical Italian products.<\/p>\n

\n

My tip
\nIf you have never visited Serre dei Giardini Margherita, take the opportunity to see the garden and stop here for a break. The old greenhouse has become a place where is possible to have breakfast, lunch, aperitivo or dinner. I wrote about it in a blogpost dedicated to the aperitif in the garden, if you want to read it, you can find it HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reading tips<\/h5>\n

Among my favorite gardening readings, there’s a book of Vita Sackville-West, The Garden Picture Book<\/em>. And if you don’t know her, an amazing and incredible woman, and her book, but you love flowers and gardens, I suggest you to read it.<\/p>\n

I have collected in a TAG, that I have called as the city where I live, all the posts that I have written and that concern it. You can find them here, click on BOLOGNA<\/a><\/p>\n
