Tergestini in 2010 at its fifth edition, has asserted itself as one of the most remarkable flower show of the Northern Italy. Many factors have contributed to this success. Certainly its historical role of gate to Eastern Europe, but also our recognized organizational skills and last but not least the high quality of the exhibitors.
The guest of honour of this edition is Mirella Presot Collavini, the most beloved gardener of our region and best known as the Dame of the Violets, a title that really becomes her and so charming as the garden that she has created in Rivignano.
During this year so quickly past, San Giovanni’s park has undergone further restoration work and a Rose Garden has been formally inaugurated in October 2009, that aims at ranking among the most noteworthy in our country with its – for now - more than five thousand varieties. Yet, the rose is not only a flower, as we can discover during our talk with the herbalist Christel Garassich.
The programme is rich. For the littlun’s it includes the presentation of two books and the access to special workshops. For veteran gardeners there will be a most appealing opportunity to talk with Erika Skabar about the search for a new landscape language filtered through Ippolito Pizzetti’s and Renzo Piano’s achievements.
As usually, there will be practical lessons in composting, on bonsai techniques and also on orchids cultivation.
Experience tells us that the infectious enthusiasm of passions is not affected by crisis, yet great help may come from local administrations, for instance through the competition “Comuni Fioriti del FVG”, now at its third edition, and from citizens through events like “Giardini Privati Aperti”, as we shall learn from Valentino Filipin.
Hence, people may come to Horti Tergestini not just to buy ‘plenty of plants’ but also to improve their horticultural theory and praxis while discovering that gardening can also be a powerful economic driving force.
This event is promoted and organized by:
The Province of Trieste – The Health Care Service Department n. 1 “Triestina” –The Co-operative " Agricola Monte San Pantaleone" NPO – The Horticultural association of Friuli-Venezia Giulia “Tra Fiori e Piante” NPO – The VI Costituency of the City of Trieste
