Our story

Deep roots, just like our plants.

Nestled in the heart of Genoa, the Peirano nursery stretches across 40,000 m² of flourishing grounds: a true green lung within the city. Our passion for nature is no recent discovery — it is an inheritance whose roots reach all the way back to 1880.

Since then, generation after generation, the Peirano family has cultivated not just plants, but a tradition of dedication, love and commitment to all things green.

Ours is a story of hands in the soil and deep roots — the roots of our plants, and the roots of our family values. To us, the nursery is far more than a place of work: it is our true home. Here, among rustling leaves and ever-changing blooms, the Peirano family has spent more than a century, always guaranteeing the very best quality and a complete range of services for every gardening need.

And, like a plant that thrives when nourished with dedication and passion, our business has flourished too — while never losing the genuine spirit and personal touch of its earliest days.

“When you choose Peirano Vivai, you are not simply buying a plant or a service: you are becoming part of a story more than a century long, built on a genuine love of nature.”

Ready to plant in your green spaces, with experienced staff, genuine passion and state-of-the-art equipment. The right plant, in the right place, planted the right way: that is how a garden gets off to the best possible start.

The art of the perfect lawn: supply and laying of rolled turf, for instant beauty and meticulous care at every stage.

The result is an even, walk-on green carpet in next to no time — that “magazine garden” look, without waiting months for seed to grow.

Service 05 · Plant hire for events

Greenery that steals the scene.

A plant in the right place transforms an event: it welcomes guests, defines spaces, softens the light and fills the photographs. It is living scenery — and unlike any other décor, it breathes. That is why plant hire has become one of our leading services: boat shows, weddings, trade fairs, film sets, cruise ships, shop windows and private ceremonies.

The formula is simple: we take care of everything. You tell us about your event, we arrive with the right plants and we only leave once the space is back exactly as it was. In between: design, supply from our own nursery, transport, placement, pots dressed in elegant fabrics to match the setting and — for longer events — watering and care, by hand, plant by plant.

Hired greenery display for events
01

Site visit & design

We study the space, the light and how your guests will move through it: a bespoke display design takes shape.

02

Selection & supply

The plants come from our own nursery: we choose shapes and heights that work beautifully together, all in perfect health.

03

Delivery & placement

Transport, handling and staging: every specimen in its place, exactly as designed.

04

Pot dressing

Fabrics, jute and elegant coverings to match your event: the pot disappears, only the greenery remains.

05

Care during the event

For trade fairs and longer installations: hand watering and checks, plant by plant, so the greenery always looks impeccable.

06

Collection afterwards

We dismantle and take everything away ourselves: the space goes back to how it was, with nothing to worry about. The plants come home to the nursery.
