Our gardens, lawns, and special projects of hazelnut/truffle trees, and medicinal herbs are designed to create a unique sustainable Castle environment. We use innovative and environmentally safe products for fertilization, pest control, snow and ice melting, and are building a green model for the surrounding hilltowns.
The soil in this part of the country is challenging and often not the best for growing plants and trees. We have discovered a molasses that turns the hard packed clay into fluffy rich dirt, a seaweed fertilizer that adds minerals, and worm castings that assist the soil in retaining moisture and actually increases crop yield.
Our own vermiculture efforts are already producing good results and ultimately we hope to inspire others to adopt similar green ventures.

Our first orchid blooms.
Looking forward to a colorful display from many more.
