CAMPI DI LAVANDA A SALE SAN GIOVANNI

[SALE SAN GIORGIO ANNOUNCESMENT]

La manifestazione "Non solo Erbe" a Sale San Giovanni

Every year between June and July, the small town of Sale San Giovanni turns purple and blue, with fields of lavender stretching as far as the eye can see, attracting thousands of visitors passionate about lavender and other aromatic plants. Sale San Giovanni is a small village that has had to struggle with a hostile, rocky, arid, and nutrient-poor soil. These conditions have not allowed traditional crops, typical of wealthier regions, leading farmers to cultivate herbs, such as lavender, salvia, rosmarino, melissa, enkir, and elicriso, on the slopes.

During the event, visitors can enjoy a variety of experiences, including guided tours of the herb gardens, participation in workshops and seminars, visits to historical sites, and cultural performances. Stalls will showcase herbs, aromatic plants, herbal and agricultural products, all from organic cultivations. In the context of the event, a number of exhibitions, art shows, and concerts will take place, as well as visits to the Arboreto Prandi and the lavender and echinacea fields.

Visitors can choose from a variety of hiking routes to explore the lavender fields, ranging from 5 to 9 kilometers, depending on their preferences. The event ends with a return trip in the late afternoon.

The cost of participation is 30 euros per person.
