I am Noor. Early September, my family and I will be in Italy, most probably in Bologna. But would love to visit a nursery selling fig plants or maybe visit a fig farm nearby. Would appreciate some pointers.
One of the areas in Tuscany that is famous for the fig production - especially their dried figs - is Carmignano, located only a short distance from Florence, near Prato about two hours outside of Bologna in a beautiful area. Go to this website, it is in Italian, but I think if you write them an email they will respond in English.
