Natural Printing: Plant Patterns on Fabric and Paper
In this hands-on experience, you'll move beyond mere observation, engaging directly with nature through the ancient art of botanical printing. Among the biodiversity of our charming garden you will gather the plants that call you and then transform them into timeless pieces of art that frame the essence of Sicily.
A Romantic Walk in a Extraordinary Sicilian Garden
Nestled within a nursery that blooms with history and character, our garden—an exquisite collection of succulent plants cultivated since the 1960s—provides a lush backdrop for your adventure. Here, among living sculptures, some over half a century old, you'll find inspiration in the abundance of nature.
