Pumpkins

“Harborea” was not only about flowers...

... but also about pumpkins!

A few more garden animals, still at “Harborea”: a common kingfisher has already caught a fish.

Bee Houses

We have already seen many flowers at the last edition of “Harborea”, but there was a lot of garden-related items.
Some of these curiosities were several types of bee houses.

Garden Animals

An interesting choice of garden animals, still at “Harborea”: the squirrel is nice, but a bit scary...
The hares are funny, but my favorite is the tortoise.

Il Buco nel Legno

We are still posting about the last Harborea: “Il Buco nel Legno” (The Hole in the Wood) makes bird houses.
The shapes are unusual and the colors quite eye-catching, but not too much.

The Roses of Florence

“Le Rose di Firenze” (The Roses of Florence) is the name of a flower nursery which was present at “Harborea”.
They are actually from Scandicci, near Florence, but the roses are gorgeous nonetheless.

Harborea 2015

It is again time of “Harborea”, the an annual garden fair organized by the Garden Club Livorno at Villa Mimbelli. The theme of the fifth edition is still: “Festa delle Piante e dei Giardini d'Oltremare” (Festival of the Plants and Gardens from Overseas).
You can see, and eventually buy, an interesting assortment of plants and garden-related merchandise.

Next week we will see something more of this interesting event...

The Animals of Harborea

“Harborea” wasn't only a place for plants and flowers, but also for... animals.

Probably you would not leave these geese out in the garden,

but these others would be perfect outside.
