The farmland is turning into a lovely cornfield with a wonderful vineyard framing San Luca’s cathedral.

The farmland is being turned into a garden, and as soon as everything grows, the old vineyard will become the symbol of the passage of time in our countryside.

Thanks to a daily diligence in land development projects, nature is coming back to life: the land, once impoverished by a mechanical production, is now rich in organic matter, it feeds on different types of grass and we hope in humus formation…

Increase in biodiversity

 

Benefits for humans and nature

 

Different kinds of plants are being planted, the aim is to increase biodiversity, in fact, different types of birds and animals are welcomed into the yard. Maybe the “forest-garden” is still too small to be a forest but it will grow up in time!

Different kinds of roses and other plants are blooming and they give us deep knowledge about plants and nature.

Thanks to the permaculture techniques, the garden grows better and the garden grove is rich in our local fruits.

By walking through the garden you can identify each plant by the name exposed (working progress…)

If you want to keep fit, a small life path (working progress…) si offered so you can go along the country path… ecc. Shared lounge areas are at your disposal for reflecting, reading and painting. You can even have relax swinging on the hammocks near the lack full of carps.
