"Plants travel around Europe"

Lago Trasimero

Hello everyone

we would like to inform you all that our work about plants has already started. We are looking for typical plants in our area and we are going early to send seeds to Portugal. We have chosen some aromatic plants growing in our garden or in the mountains around Foligno.

They are called: maggiorana, timo, rosmarino, santoreggia, salvia and zafferano. All these plants grown wild or are cultivated in our region, Umbria, or near our town Foligno. Then we have chosen the products of the earth that are part of our gastronomic tradition; these products are cultivated in particular areas around our region, Umbria. They are called: Broccoletto del Trasimeno, Fagiolina del Trasimeno, Cicerchia, Cipolla di Cannara, Fagiolo di Cave, Farro, Lenticchia di Castelluccio, Patata rossa di Colfiorito. Trasimeno is a big lake near Perugia, the capital of our region. Cannara, Cave, Castellucio, Colfiorito are very small villages near Foligno.

Now we are collecting informations about these plants and we are preparing seeds......
