The garden of the ancient Bonaparte farmhouse enhances the historic structure located in Civitanova Marche, now transformed into an exclusive venue for public and private events by the owners. The green areas, including the systems, were designed and created by the Pellegrini Giardini group.
The garden is designed to be low-maintenance and energy-efficient, with LED lighting, water collection tanks, and a smart irrigation system that remotely controls water consumption to avoid unnecessary waste. Additionally, special care was taken in selecting plant types to improve air quality, using native species that easily adapt to the Mediterranean climate.
Each tree was chosen for a specific purpose. The Olive trees (Olea europea), typical of the Mediterranean scrub, alongside lush flower beds with delicate orange (Lotus maculatus) and yellow (Euryops pectinatus) blooms, mark the entrance to the main hall. The old embankment around the property was completely greened with mixed bushes and ground covers like Lonicera pileata, which are easy to maintain and require little water. To ensure greater privacy and a more natural effect, the fence was bordered with a hedge of Viburnum Lucidum, an evergreen shrub that grows lushly and requires little care.
The largest part of the garden, exposed to the south, was paved to make it usable for guests during events. To keep it cool and protected from the sun, flower beds were left where exemplary Linden trees rise, standing against the farmhouse facade with generous blooms of Salvia farinacea and Lavender.
These wonderful trees, a classic since the 19th century, grow quickly, offer beautiful natural shade with their large leaves, and from late May to June, their blooms spread a sweet fragrance throughout the garden. Being deciduous, they provide summer shade and winter light and warmth, along with vibrant autumn foliage.
The Linden tree can reach a height of 35 meters, with an elegant rounded-conical shape, is undemanding, and tolerates urban pollution well. In adulthood, it can absorb up to 2,800 kg of CO2. Plants are natural air filters, thanks to the photosynthesis process that absorbs carbon dioxide and produces oxygen.
Elegant flower beds with Jazz and Aspirin Roses adorn the back of the farmhouse. A Parrotia persica tree softens the architectural lines of the house, characterized by low-branching and splendid red-gold autumn coloration.
