Recently deceased Mario Margheriti, an enthusiastic hunter of new plants, founded this nursery in 1978, naming it “Torsanlorenzo Gruppo Florovivaistico”. It is actually a private organization that manages some Italian and International nurseries specialized in the cultivation and distribution of high-quality plants.

Today, there are over 5.700 varieties in its official register, mostly Mediterranean, Australian, and South African – classified according to painstaking and passionate research. There are ideal plants for hot and dry climates, for seaside gardens, for public green areas, and, in general, for responsible and well-planned management, thanks to low maintenance and reduced water requirements.

Torsanlorenzo has always focused on instructional and scientific values, organizing conferences, research, reforestation, and environmental requalification. Not to mention, recovery and reintroduction of Italian spontaneous species, reconstruction of natural environments, and their use in the garden.

Today the group is led by Mario’s three daughters: Elisabetta, Silvia, and Luana, competent young women, extremely passionate about their work.
