Orticolario 2025 – EDEN: the primordial power of nature
From 2 to 5 October 2025, at Villa Erba in Cernobbio on Lake Como, the international event that celebrates nature in all its forms returns, spreading landscape culture with a strong social purpose.
For its 15th edition, Orticolario invites you to explore EDEN, a journey into ancestral wonder, through the many faces of a primordial and untamed place. An Eden that goes beyond the common idea of perfection, revealing the vital and indomitable force of nature.
The 2025 protagonists: the edible wild plants, spontaneous species that bring us back to the ancient practice of foraging and become inspiration for:
✔️ Art and design
✔️ Installations and signature gardens
✔️ Events and workshops (also for children)
✔️ Creative craftsmanship
✔️ Rare, unusual, and collectible plants
Orticolario is much more than a garden show: it is a cultural and sensory experience, where nature, art, and creativity come together on the shores of one of Italy’s most enchanting places.
