Italy is hosting botanical and horticultural events focused on plant science and biodiversity. On September 5, the Giubbe Verdi di San Martino dall’Argine held a scientific lecture titled ‘The Intelligence of Plants’, where naturalist Sara Boninsegna discussed how plants perceive stimuli and communicate through chemical and electrical signals. 

Looking ahead to late September, the ninth edition of the Verde Grazzano festival is scheduled for September 26 and 27 at the Parco del Castello di Grazzano Visconti. This exhibition-market will feature nursery experts, artists, and artisans showcasing various plant varieties, including tropical species and bearded irises.
