Green Market
Plants and flowers flood the centre of Cervia with colours and scents with Green Market, 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, natural products and perfumes. To enrich the offer a series of free activities: workshops for children, young people and families, honey extraction, meetings with experts, show cooking, performances, artistic and handicraft creations and more.
An event where it will be possible to take part in numerous sensory experiences, have fun and become passionate about green and environmental values.
From May to September, roundabouts, gardens and green spaces in Cervia, Milano Marittima, Pinarella and Tagliata are set up for the 53rd edition of the initiative.
