Ecosystems

From an ecosystem to a garden

Environment and Planting Design have always been running on parallel tracks, without ever meeting. Over the centuries this has led to a one-sided view of gardens as entities completely disconnected from the pace of nature and consequently as slaves to constant human intervention.
The ongoing study of the natural ecosystems of our climate zone has accompanied my work for years now, merging with the innovative design techniques devised in Northern Europe over the last 30 years (Naturalistic Planting Design).
Thanks to this new approach, the Italian garden can finally live a new era, no longer enslaved by stereotypes and constrained by fashions, but finally opening up to the incredible biodiversity of Mediterranean ecosystems.
Today, there are about 75,000 species on a global scale, which are often more readily accessible thanks to the constant work of the horticultural industry, which is always very responsive to the needs of us designers.

What we do is mimic the ecosystems typical of our climate and replicate them to scale in medium and large gardens, both private and public. We create resilient, climate change-ready gardens, ready to meet the demands of the future.

Using complex design systems, we categorise the plants according to specific functions, determine the percentages to be used and create real combinations to be fitted to the surfaces of our projects.

Following are some sections of new plant combinations for one of our large and exclusive gardens that we are developing in Italy and around the world.
As a standard, all plants are represented during their blossoming period.
