It is located on the road which from Piano di Sorrento leads to Positano, in front of the Galli islands and the landscape is magnificent. La Ginestra nursery was created 20 years ago by Maria Rosaria and Giovanna, who love the plants of the Mediterranean scrub. The terracing, on which the nursery is standing, were covered originally by numerous broom trees which gave the name to the business.

The production is centred on the essences of the Mediterranean scrub, particularly on the spontaneous plants, which ornate our walls and coasts: erigeron, trachelium, sedum, bluebells, rosemary, helichrysum, santolinas, creepers… The owner has started cultivating hortensias, also an old variety, Hydrangea macrophilla ‘Otakxa’, which has always been present in the citrus groves in the area of Sorrento. This type of hortensia is characterized by a sober but generous blooming and it is difficult to find it on the market. Sages and scented geraniums are also available here.
