Type: Quality gardening exhibition and market

On October 3 and 4, 2026, Parma's beautiful Ducal Park hosts the first autumn edition of Nel Segno del Giglio, an event devoted to quality gardening and the culture of plants and green spaces.

For one weekend, this historic park in the heart of Parma will become a meeting place for everyone interested in plants, flowers, gardens, nature and outdoor living.

The new autumn edition adds a different atmosphere to the event, taking place at a time when the park begins to change colour and the city moves into one of the most beautiful seasons for walking outdoors.

A gardening event in the heart of Parma

The Ducal Park provides an ideal setting for an event devoted to nature.

Visitors will be able to walk through the historic garden while discovering displays and ideas connected with gardening and plant cultivation.

The combination of an exhibition devoted to plants and the natural beauty of the surrounding park creates an experience in which the venue itself becomes an important part of the event.

Plants, flowers and inspiration for green spaces

Gardening is at the heart of Nel Segno del Giglio.

The autumn edition will offer visitors an opportunity to discover plants and botanical varieties, meet people working in the gardening sector and find inspiration for gardens, terraces and other green spaces.

Autumn is also an important season for gardeners. It is a time for planning, planting and preparing the garden for the months ahead, making the October event particularly appropriate for anyone interested in growing plants.

More than a plant market

Nel Segno del Giglio Autumn is not intended to be simply a place to buy plants.

The programme also includes cultural initiatives connected with gardens, nature and the surrounding historic environment.

Visitors can therefore combine shopping with a more relaxed experience, enjoying the park and discovering different ways of understanding the relationship between people and the natural world.

Autumn in the Ducal Park

The choice of Parma's Ducal Park gives the first autumn edition a distinctive character.

Early October marks the beginning of the seasonal transformation of the garden, when the colours of summer gradually give way to warmer autumn shades.

Walking through the park therefore becomes part of the experience, combining the gardening exhibition with one of Parma's most attractive historic landscapes.

Special preview on October 2

A special preview is scheduled for Friday, October 2, 2026.

The day will focus on Giardini Reliquiari, with a professional meeting offering training credits.

The main public event will then take place on Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4.

A weekend of nature and culture in Parma

A visit to Nel Segno del Giglio Autumn can also become an opportunity to discover Parma.

The Ducal Park is close to the historic centre and the Oltretorrente district, making it easy to combine the event with a walk through some of the city's most characteristic streets and monuments.

For visitors coming from outside Parma, the event can therefore be part of an autumn weekend combining gardens, history, art and local food traditions.
