| Description (by producer & GT in English only) : | | For Paolo Pejrone, the primary needs of a garden are few and essential: sun, water, good soil, natural fertilizer, and then a lot of patience in cultivating it. "A garden," he writes, "is the result of much work: the hoe and spade, the roller and the rake should never be used sparingly." The gardens collected in this volume are generally part of a larger garden into which they integrate harmoniously. They vary in size and nature, partly due to the different climatic characteristics of their location, as they are scattered between Piedmont and Lazio, in foothills or in open countryside, on the shores of a lake or overlooking the sea. Some are distinguished by their seemingly natural simplicity, essential structural elements such as pergolas, trellises, and supports. In others, the cultivated space is neatly divided into "rooms" by actual plant walls; or into flowerbeds delineated by boxes of woven branches or simple flower borders. In others, vegetables, fruits and aromatic herbs are deliberately mixed to create an effect of lush cheerfulness.
Finally, there are decorative gardens, where traditional vegetables are supplemented or replaced with cultivated flowers. The more than twenty gardens, designed by the most prominent landscape designers working in Italy today, are examples of spaces cultivated for food, where the eye also plays its part, where it's pleasant to stroll and stop to admire nature. | |
