Founded in 1995 by Enrico Riva and Roberta Marchesi, in their own home garden, “Peccato Vegetale” initially produced succulent plants and a collection of fragrant geraniums, in two small greenhouses. Shrubs, especially of Mediterranean origin, were and still are available as well, making the most of the available, limited space in the garden.

Then, a repotting area was created in the old family workshop and, for a short spell of time, the owners also worked with freshly cut flowers.

Later on, the little nursery was moved to the countryside, thus widening its offer.

Today, Enrico and Roberta reproduce and cultivate several perennial herbaceous species, like anemones, asters, geraniums, coral bells, Dianthus varieties, toad lilies, knotweeds, ferns, ornamental gramineous plants, shrubs, rockroses, and California lilacs.
