26-27 September 2026 in the Park of the Castle of Grazzano Visconti.
Every year in September, the historic park of Grazzano hosts the horticultural exhibition dedicated to greenery and creativity inspired by nature. Inside the garden surrounding the castle, you have the opportunity to admire the exhibitors’ stalls distributed among the rose gardens, baroque fountains and centuries-old plants.
Meetings dedicated to the care of nature and the impact of nature on man enrich the program of the event.
The manor in the center of the large garden is accessible with guided tours.
Inside you can admire rooms richly furnished by Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone and his heirs and you can retrace the long history of the building. The village and castle are the result of the ingenuity and inspiration of Giuseppe who inherited them at the beginning of the twentieth century and transformed them according to the neo-Gothic taste.
Pet friendly event.
