In the garden of Doge Manin 13-14 September 2025

On Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September, all those who are passionate about plants and flowers, but more generally about life, are once again invited to Villa Manin in Passariano, the largest historic park in Friuli Venezia Giulia, where the 21st edition of the exhibition ‘Nel Giardino del Doge Manin’ (In the Garden of Doge Manin), a floral exhibition of plants and garden furniture that will host around a hundred exhibitors, carefully and passionately selected by Lili Soldatich and ready to offer the best of Italian and international floriculture in a setting that showcases each individual offering to its fullest potential.

The event is promoted by ERPAC, the Regional Authority for Cultural Heritage of the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, and coordinated by the Agricola Monte San Pantaleone social cooperative, an organisation based in another park in Friuli Venezia Giulia, the cultural park of San Giovanni, which has been involved in green space maintenance and caring for people through green spaces for over forty years.

A rich cultural programme with conversations around books that talk about biodiversity, life in the fields and the power of plants, their ability to reconnect us to the Earth and become “therapy” for each and every one of us, but also activities for children, workshops for adults, guided tours, including one for visually impaired people, and “green” innovations in both floral offerings and sustainable objects: all this will be available at both in terms of floral arrangements and sustainable gifts: all this will be available to visitors, who can access the event by purchasing a ticket online or directly on site. There will also be refreshment points so that a day or half-day at Villa Manin can truly be an opportunity to rest the soul, meet people and nature, and find inspiration. A moment to gather energy for more challenging seasons and to renew hope, strengthening the relationship between humans and animals, the sacred and the profane, earth and sky.

We look forward to seeing you there!
