Royal Gardens of Venice

Project Leader: Adele Re Rebaudengo

Notes2: The large pergola, covered with numerous varieties of Wisteria and Bignonia, forms the central element of the garden. Over the summer months, the blooms of the 6,000 Agapanthus are an unmissable spectacle. The garden is cultivated without the use of synthetic chemicals and the focus is on the conservation of natural resources, re-use, recycling, and the enhancement of existing physical elements. A composting system in tanks contributes to soil fertility, while the introduction of trees and shrubs, flowering plants, and rows of aromatic herbs attract bees and other pollinating insects, increasing biodiversity. The garden also supports the resident bird population with the installation of nesting boxes and bird baths.
