Permaculture garden
An environmental dimension is inherent in the place, where the first encounter when the gates open and the pine, olive, fig and pomegranate trees, and the small garden, unfold under the tranquility of our walk along the path. The question of the environment stretches to include the stone house, an ancestral building that harmonises and almost dissolves with the valley where it took root over 150 years ago. All dreams, research, sharing and environmental concerns are welcome to be thought about, incubated and explored in the shade of the vaults and fruit trees.
Renovation of the pool and well.
Originally, these two water reservoirs were built to meet the needs of silk thread production from worm cocoons, which required large quantities of water. In the spirit of MaFk, our aim is to renovate and restore the entire site.So the pond, which has a considerable capacity of 200 m3, had emptied over time and was no longer filling up due to the deterioration of the rendering and its waterproofing.
As for the well, which is located under the theatre, it has always been empty, despite its capacity of 36 m3, because it has never been drained. As a result, in 2024, we are planning to hire masons to prepare the walls, clean them and re-coat them, and roofers to lay zinc pipes to direct the rainwater collected by the roof gutters to these two reservoirs.
Our aim is therefore to meet our environmental requirements; to use the water that nature provides to meet the watering needs of the trees, plants and vegetable garden during the hot summer months.
