La Casina di Lorenzo is a nursery in Lucca countryside and it was born thanks to Davide Picchi, a passionate travelling nurseryman, always looking for peculiar and exotic beauties. More than 1200 different species coexist in this great nursery, coming from all over the world and arranged in a most peculiar way. The true icon of the nursery is the creeper with jade flowers (Strongylodon macrobotryis) and surprising jade-green flowers as well – it’s over 3.2 ft long and stands out as the perfect result of Davide’s painstaking research and experimentation.
The nursery also houses several shrubs, vines, herbaceous plants, trees, bulbous species, mostly tropical or subtropical, unusual and rare.
Davide has also recently created an unprecedented collection of species belonging to the local flora of Lucca.
Get yourself ready for a unique experience: a visit to this nursery means literally getting lost in a most fascinating jungle made of flowers, evocative discoveries and intriguing tales.
