Punto Verde nursery company, owned by the agricultural expert Roberto De Giorgi, has been producing plants for lawns and green spaces well-adapted to the Mediterranean climate since the 1980s; in particular, Punto Verde offers ornamental plants both of exotic and southern origins, also recovering old species discovered during maintenance works in the gardens of the ancient houses of Salento.

Recently, the company has included a collection of ancient fruits and ornamental plants, currently threatened of extinction, also thanks to the patronage of the Botanical Garden of the University of Salento.

Figs, pomegranates, apricots, almonds, plums and many other species, are reproduced as part of a thorough project of a ”widespread” botanical garden in Salento, thus also protecting the local genetic heritage. Many conservation sites have thus arisen throughout the Salento area, in particular at farm stay facilities around Carpignano, Serrano, Salve and Otranto, including the “path of figs”, that of plum trees and pear trees.

Punto Verde also designs and creates green spaces, long-lasting lawns suitable for the local climate, and state-of-the-art irrigation systems.
