Spring and Garden Festival. Events Assisi April and May. Poppy Bloom

For 15 years now, starting from 2010, the LAVENDER FESTIVAL has been held in Castelnuovo di Assisi at the nursery/garden IL LAVANDETO DI ASSISI. The lavender festival is an event with free entry, organized and financed entirely by our nursery which supports the maintenance of the fields and the costs of organizing the event with the sale of aromatic plants, lavender plants, sage... and lavender products. The flowering will also be visible on weekdays, in this house there is a paid entrance. The lavender festival takes place in our 3-hectare garden created not only for the love for plants, and for lavender, but also for this event which attracts people from all over Italy, and allows everyone to immerse themselves in a fragrant landscape in the midst to nature and admire this beautiful spectacle: rows of pink, blue, purple, lilac and white lavender framed by the magnificent backdrop of Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, a saint who infinitely loved nature. During the 4 weekends of the lavender festival: (the last 2 of June and the first 2 of July) it is also pleasant to stop in the middle of the fields and observe and photograph the flowering which will change every week. Nature lovers but also gardening enthusiasts will be able to walk freely in the ornamental sage garden, in the medicinal plant garden, admire the ponds and take part in guided tours and lavender distillation. During the Assisi lavender festival our nursery will set up the garden with the plants produced by our nursery and gardening lovers will be able to purchase the plants seen in the garden and the beautiful crafts stuffed with lavender flowers.
