Market exhibition “Minerali-Fossili-Orchidee-Piante"

The event will be held on Saturday 4 May from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 5 May from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Antico Convento di Monte Carasso in Via El Sementeri 2, admission free of charge.

The Club dei Cercatori di Minerali e Fossili has the pleasure of returning to the splendid setting of the Antico Convento di Monte Carasso to present the third edition of an exhibition that is unique of its kind in Switzerland, the "Minerali-Fossili-Orchidee-Piante" market exhibition.

In collaboration with Orchidable, the only centre specialising in orchids in the Canton of Ticino, and with the flower and garden company Cavalletti, the club is pleased to invite you to this unusual market exhibition ready to present and offer you the many wonders of nature, ranging from the iridescent colours of minerals, to fragrant orchids, but also from the always marvellous fossils to the plants that will adorn the portico of the convent cloister and help to colour the already lively little square.

This fair, which, as mentioned, will be the only event of its kind south of the Alps, will aim to promote paleontological, mineralogical and botanical knowledge.

Unlike the official Club exchange, with this lighter version, as light as spring, we want to offer visitors young and old the jewels of nature that surround our territory, thanks to the presence of exhibitors from Ticino.

Enthusiasts or the merely curious will be able to admire and purchase minerals, fossils, as well as gemstone and jewellery creations and, of course, orchids of various shapes, colours and hybrids, as well as citrus, olive and other Mediterranean green plants that will grace the courtyard arcades.
