TO BE EVERGREEN Plants, flowers, soil, fragrances: this is what we talk about. Trends, new products, markets, sales and innovation have finally found the right place in our magazines’ pages: Flortecnica e vivaismo, GreenUp and greenstyle.

Our way of creating specialist press is fresh and focused on the horticulture and gardening fields, covering our story since its very beginning: the environmental value of green care, from the professional to the more domestic

point of view. Our online and printed publishing products are able to meet rapidly changing needs, new categories of clients and consumers. Trends in motion!

Reliable publications, boasting important collaborations and co-workers. A young and dynamic publishing house, anchored in the traditions and history of Italian floriculture. A publisher that invests. A publisher to invest in.
