Sunday, April 13, 2025, the Googreen Biodiversity Market celebrates the arrival of spring with its monthly appointment at Giardino Sambuy. As on every second Sunday of the month, the garden comes to life as a place for meeting, good practices, exchange, and seasonal storytelling. A whole day dedicated to local agricultural, nursery, and food & wine excellence, showcasing key elements of our regional heritage.

Territorial excellence – Welcome, spring!

Throughout Sunday, from 10 AM to 7 PM, Giardino Sambuy will host, as always, 40 exhibitors including producers from Il Paniere, Slow Food, and Maestri del Gusto. All gathered in the charming green oasis in front of Porta Nuova, to share the spirit of April through small productions and seasonal harvests. AND THE BALCONY IS BLOOMING! With plants from Vivai Giani, Gardenesque, Feletig, Beeplant, and the expertise of garden master Marco Gramaglia, visitors will receive tips and inspiration to create the most beautiful flowering balcony. On this occasion, the launch of a contest will be announced: the most beautiful balcony in the San Salvario district will be awarded in May, during the San Salvario ha un cuore verde event on May 24–25.
