About Us
The ancient Roman divinity Janus was depicted as having two faces that, according to legend, allowed him to see equally well into the past and the future. This is precisely the philosophy of Cherubini Vivaio del Garda, that of a company where old traditions and experiences coexist in perfect harmony with the most advanced technologies.
Cherubini Vivaio del Garda was founded in 1960 by Ferrante Cherubini, a perennial lover of plants and greenery.
When his son Valter Mauro joined the company in the seventies, Cherubini Vivaio del Garda expanded, establishing its operational headquarters as a place for researching the design and architecture of each garden, and for admiring and selecting a wide variety of plants, flowers, shrubs and trees.
And, it is precisely when Valter joined the company, as a pioneer of innovative garden design systems, using technological tools, that Cherubini Vivaio del Garda became a well-structured business able to offer a complete service of garden design, realization and maintenance.
The third millennium heralded the entry into the company of Filippo, Valter’s son, representing the new Cherubini generation.
Proximity to Lake Garda has undoubtedly been an advantage for Cherubini in the design and realization of gardens, favouring the cultivation of certain plants and the improvement of service levels due to extensive experience gained at villas and the most prestigious residences in the Benaco area.
Well, the ones we are going to show you are pretty impressive. Cherubini Vivaio del Garda, today, is a leading company that can boast:

Always fond of greenery and nature, Ferrante Cherubini, who was born and raised in the countryside, decides to give dedicate his life to Vivaio del Garda.

From a very early age, Valter Mauro felt an innate passion for the modelling of green spaces and for all the various botanical species, particularly those common to the Mediterranean region. Soon, Valter Mauro begins to design and realize some of the most beautiful villa gardens in the Lake Garda area and in the Lombardy region, creatively combining tradition and innovation, and taking inspiration from continuous research in a sector in which you never stop learning, since, as with every field of human knowledge, you can never know enough.

In this way, a unique place is born in Italy, offering customers a 360° service, from the design of a garden to its realization, and from the showcasing of plants from all over the world to their sale.
