Orticola Flower Show

The Orticola Milan’s Flower Show was created for Milan in 1996. Ever since it began, Orticola has continued to be the most important Italian show for national and international specialised nurseries. Not only this, it has also dedicated its proceeds to greening the city for the last 26 years.

Orticola’s Theme for the 2024 Flower Show

“G” Generation: Young gardeners grow is the theme of Orticola 2024.

On the basis of the thinking of Gilles Clément, one of the best-known and most influential landscape architects, entomologist, botanist, theorist and above all gardener – as he likes to call himself -, theorist of the planetary garden and the concept of the third landscape, we must learn that each of us is responsible for our own habitat: our planet is our garden and we must take care of it.
The planetary garden is a principle, its gardener is the whole of humanity. The planetary garden teaches us how nature is not contained within traditional enclosures. Insects, birds, water, soil, oxygen do not belong to an enclosed space, and to still think of dominating life, rather than living with it, is an obsolete belief. We must reconnect with other life forms and claim our role as human beings as part of the biosphere, the animal world, Nature: homo sapiens is not the master of the planet, but he can influence its fate and must do so, now more than ever, in a positive way.

Orticola 2024 addresses this new generation, which we have called Generation G as Young Gardeners, who have also grown up with the Covid experience, who feel part of the environment and not master of it; a generation that knows that Nature is an inescapable necessity.
To this generation we want to speak and give support, presenting a traditional exhibition, but one that more than anything else speaks of nature, of living beings, of plants: organisms that are fundamental to our survival, that likewise know how to communicate with us, even if only by blooming in response to our care: flowers are the stars of the earth, Terrestria sidera flores, as the motto of the Associazione Orticola di Lombardia states.
