Sicilian involvement in royal weddings continues this Saturday when plants from the island will decorate the streets of Monaco in celebration of the marriage of Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock.
The plants, from the Faro di Riposto nursery in the Etna area, include several varieties of citrus tree, olive trees, Aleppo pine, camphor laurel and, of course, laurus nobilis [bay]. Four lorries began transporting them to Monaco several days ago and what a treat the people of the Principality have in store!
The Faro di Riposto company supplied plants for the award-winning Monaco Garden designed by Sarah Eberle for this year's Chelsea Flower Show. This project was also commissioned by Prince Albert.
I checked out the Faro di Riposto website - very nice. Thanks for sharing.
