Paolo Arrigo has been priveleged over the years to speak at shows such as RHS Hampton Court, Country Living, La Dolce Vita, BBC Gardeners' World Live and the Abergajenny Food Festival, and at prestigious outlets like Harvey Nichols, Petersham Nurseries and RHS Wisley. Listening to frequent customer requests, Paolo wrote his first book 'From Seed to Plate' which combines his knowledge and passion for Italian food and ingredients gained from having been raised in the family deli in London, and the 227 years of experience passed down through the Franchi seed company.
'Masterclasses' have also been a popular customer request and in response Seeds of Italy are proud to announce a series of events held throughout the year hosted by its founder, Paolo. You can book your places using the order form, online or telephone and we look forward to meeting you all in person. Places are limited so do book early to avoid disappointment.

At all these events, you will be able to purchase from our full range of Italian seeds, soaps and signed cookbooks plus other products from our catalogue. Events are held at our headquarters a 5-6 minute walk from London's Harrow and Wealdstone station. The ideal gift!
