THE HERB GARDEN

In this small garden with views of Lake Como it was created in the upper part an area dedicated to the cultivation of herbs to be collected for culinary use and preparation of herbal teas. Into a new planter, built in antiqued concrete blocks, it has been planted plants of chamomile, fennel, mallow, sage, collections of thyme, rosemary, varieties of mint, melissa, helichrysum. The borders of this small sunny garden, arranged on old and new stone terraces typical of the lake shores, are home to a selection of herbaceous perennials, shrubs and climbing plants with edible flowers such as lavender, violets, lonicera and roses. Other small perennials have been inserted in the garden as the beautiful Geranium Rozanne that amazes every year for its long blooming with beautiful and fragrant violet blooms that soften the slopes of the cliffs of the land.
