Barbara Fontani sales manager will be on hand at stand E143-144-145-146-147 to inform visitors about the nursery, which operates from Pistoia.
The two nurseries, Vivai Masetti Sabino and Vivai Biagini Azienda Agricola san Giovanni co-operate together under the brand Tuscany Growers, which is entirely owned and operated by women, making it the only female-run organisation in the Italian nursery industry.
"The 50th anniversary show provides an excellent opportunity for us to introduce our companies and our products to potential customers in the sector and demonstrate to them first-hand what we can can supply and which are the services we provide. Due to the nature of our group we can address to a wide range of categories beginning with nurseries, then garden centres and ending with landscapers.
Vivai Masetti Sabino was established in 1960 and has 22 hectares of production, 3 of which are for container production with plants produced in pot sizes ranging from 12lt to 700lt. Their specialist range includes medium to large plants of Magnolia both evergreen and deciduous varieties, Cedrus, Taxus, Abies, Picea, Camellia, Photinia, Quercus and Ilex.
Complementing the range offered from Masetti Sabino, Vivai Biagini Azienda Agricola San Giovanni concentrates on producing container-grown nursery stock (Wisteria, Rhyncospermum, Elaeagnus, Photinia, Nandina, etc.) in a range of pot sizes on an 11-hectare site. Now owned and operated by Susanna Livi, Vivai Biagini was established in 1950, making it one of Pistoia’s oldest nurseries.
