Natural gardens in Italy have finally taken off and the concept of the natural garden in italy is at last beginning to reach mainstream Italian garden designers. For years the predominant Italian garden design style has been based on strong symmetry and evergreen plants, clipped into neat geometrical forms and hedges. Now, however, with the influx of foreigners and foreign ideas, Italian garden designer have begun to embrace the idea of the natural Italian garden. Italy's rich biodiversity and non-intensive farming techniques lend themselves perfectly to this kind of natural garden.
Wild flowers can easily be established, creating the perfect, native ecosystem that's capable of sustaining hundreds of varieties of plants, birds, mammals and insects.
Italy's long season allows for a large ammount of time to be spent enjoying the outdoors and the installation of natural swimming pools has now become all the rage with their natural filtering systems and clear water.
Natural gardens in Italy could soon lay the foundations for a new wave of eco-tourism that will benefit both man and nature,
Let's hope!
