Green Florence: nature and sustainability in the city

We are one of the first Italian companies, if not the first, to offer construction and design of paludariums, terrariums and exotic habitats with plants.
In our showroom you can directly experience the paludarium and exotic habitat with breathtaking scenery.

Cos'è OVA? Un orto inteso come attività agricola, ma anche una fattoria didattica con gli animali per visite che interessano soprattutto i bambini, sia con le famiglie che con la classe.  E poi spazio all'aria aperta, per un pranzo nel verde fuori Firenze ma a due passi da Firenze.

A habitat is an ecosystem consisting mainly of plants, soil and water, carefully constructed and enclosed within a glass container.

You may have heard of them as biospheres or terraria. In any case, it requires very little maintenance and provides for its own sustenance.
In the workshop in Florence, small bottled forests are made every day, perfect for bringing a bit of wild nature into the home or office!

È un luogo ricco di stimoli adatto per compiere osservazioni su piante colture e animali.
