October 18 - October 19, 2025
Cervia
Verde Mercato Autunno (Autumn Green Market)
Plants and flowers flood the centre of Cervia with colours and scents with Green Market Autumn, the plant and flower market that for the third year precedes the start of Cervia Garden City, Europe's largest open-air flower show.
A market exhibition of plants and flowers, bonsai, succulent plants and natural products will be the stars of this event in the heart of Cervia. The best of Italian nursery gardening for the season to come will be on display, with novelties to colour our balconies and gardens during the winter.
An event where it will be possible to take part in numerous sensory experiences, have fun and become passionate about green and environmental values.
Entitled Flowers of Peace, the initiative is also included in the programme of the first edition of the Festival Voci per la Pace.
