Paolo Pejrone
For a modern garden—in form and substance
The garden as a first step in an individual approach to Nature, from the baroque and sophisticated forms of past centuries to the much simpler forms of our time, through the kitchen-garden and the orchard experiences, since gardens adapt to changing periods and tastes… Above all for a healthy garden, where poisons or chemical fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides are banned. A garden where beauty can reign and were common sense can live unchallenged. “Hard work built upon beauty, made of attempts and experiments, that finds in patience the uncertainty of an ephemeral, seasonal success, and in writings the certainty of memory”. An encounter with one of the leading and most renowned landscape architects of Italy, maybe the world.
