Gardening in Italy

We are moving to Italy next year, and will have a much smaller garden than we have here. Right now, since we are not living there permanently, I have planted a lot of prickly cacti....never grown cacti before, it's really fascinating!!)

Does anyone know if there is an Italian equivalent of the RHS? I know it wouldn't be called that, since Italy is a Republic!! But is there some kind of national society that fulls the same role as the RHS in the UK?

Would be grateful for any info!!

 

Blimey Leonora, thats a big move

@miraflores might know

 

Hi Leonora, Zig,
I don't know the answer to your question, but you will probably find some hints in this "local" forum, under the section that I link to:(Almanacco e raduni).
Good luck with your move and your garden!

 

Thank you so much!!!
