Mercato delle Piante

I am truly dangerous in this place. Nothing makes me happier than spending g’s on plants. This market has the best priced plants in the center (€ 2 azaleas anyone???), and it’s so beautiful to see the loggia next to the Piazza full of happy little flowers (and not-​so-​little japanese maples and even palm trees).
There is a wide assortment of outdoors and indoor plants, as well as dry climate ones like cacti and aloes, and many varieties of live herbs (I had a nervous breakdown when had to choose which of the SEVEN types of oregano to buy… the six types of rosemary… my window can only fit so many).
You’ve got crawlers and climbers, perennials and annuals, fancy orchids and 50 cent impatiens. Really almost everything you need is right here at very great prices, like the geranium of your dreams.
Thankfully this market is only on Thursdays, otherwise my house would be a live-​in jungle.
