Municipal greenhouses
Ideal environments for growing plants and flowers that beautify the city's parks, gardens, and boulevards.
In the municipal greenhouses, located at the Piano della Stampa on an area of more than 15,000 m², plants and flowers used in the city's parks and gardens are grown, but not only. In fact, they are ideal environments for growing a variety of species and allowing many of the decorative plants that, with the return of the warm season, beautify parks, gardens and boulevards.
Lugano thus has plants and flowers available year-round, without having to depend exclusively on outside suppliers, while respecting the criteria of plant quality and their integration into public greenery. The greenhouses also allow rapid replacement of specimens damaged by the weather and to decorate, for example, the City's stands at events.
The greenhouse area currently includes four elements, two warm (20°C) and two temperate (15°C), three plastic tunnels, a nursery and spaces used as storage. The cultivation of annual plants is now almost entirely organic, while irrigation is mainly through rainwater harvesting from the roofs of the facilities.
