Rosemary on a city balcony, young vines on a hillside in Marche, sage drying in a kitchen. Wherever you live, we help you grow Mediterranean plants — and know what to do with what you grow.
We grow what we advise on — Mediterranean herbs and vines on the hillsides of Marche, and in climates far less forgiving. Soil, light, the right variety and the patience to learn from each season: that is what we bring to a consultation or a lecture, whether you have a balcony, a garden or a vineyard, and wherever in the world it is.
Which species cope with a cold winter, which need a pot and a bright window, and how to give them the conditions of home — wherever home is.
Choosing a variety, preparing the site, training and pruning — the first years decide the next thirty.
Harvesting at the right moment, drying and storing, and the traditional ways the Mediterranean uses its herbs.
A plant does not care where the border is. It cares about light, soil and the person who tends it.
A consultation starts with your place — its climate, its soil and what you hope to harvest. Online, on site at your place, or with us in Marche.
Rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano, lavender — and the less obvious ones. We help you choose species and varieties for your conditions, decide between pot and open ground, prepare the soil and bring the plants safely through winter.
