Cervia Garden City
From May to September, the green spaces of Cervia, Milano Marittima, Pinarella, and Tagliata dress up with plants, flowers, and artistic decorations, transforming the town into an explosion of colours and scents that enchants visitors and residents alike during Cervia Garden City - Green Energy, the Seed of the Future.
The event is now in its 53rd edition and starts with Green Market, the market exhibition in the centre of Cervia of nurseries, plants and flowers, bonsai, succulent plants and natural products.
The inauguration of Cervia Città Giardino is scheduled for 28 May, with the presentation to the city of the high quality, creative and truly excellent work carried out by all participants.
The original gardens and incredible floral arrangements, created by the Masters of Green from cities, companies, institutions, schools and Italian and foreign associations and taken care of by the Green Service of the Municipality of Cervia, can be seen throughout the summer. In total, about sixty cities and Italian and European delegations are collaborating with the administration to realise the initiative.
A rich programme of collateral events will offer engaging experiences for adults and children, such as guided tours, exhibitions, workshops for children, teenagers and families, honey extraction, meetings with experts, show cooking, performances, artistic and craft creations, and much more. Initiatives include guided tours in the evocative Duca d'Altemps Wood, explorations of the botanical garden of forgotten fruits, and meditative walks in the greenery.
An event dedicated to lovers of gardening, herbalism, natural products and more.
Discover all the initiatives, stroll along the flowery paths and be inspired by the beauty of nature!

Cervia Garden City
Founded in 1972 under the name ‘Maggio in Fiore’ (May in Bloom) from an idea of Germano Todoli and continued by his son Riccardo, the event took on its current name in the 1990s, to enhance the environmental characteristics of the area, which in the early 20th century stimulated the painter and town planner Giuseppe Palanti to create the garden city here. Today, as in the past, the world-famous event aims to safeguard greenery and nature in the name of friendship between peoples. Every year, Master Gardeners from over 60 Italian and foreign cities, organisations, companies, and associations are invited to Cervia to set up more than 60 green areas in May, creating Europe’s ‘largest open-air floral art exhibition’.
