Experience
In 2006, after a moment of intense reflection on my creative skills, I had the big occasion to design my first garden. The passion for plants and gardens has always accompanied me, but I never imagined that one day it would have become my job. I enrolled at the University of Agriculture and I started to have experience, keeping in order gardens and terraces in Turin and in the neighbourhood. The collaboration with experts taught me a lot, not only the secrets of nature, but also small craft and building works. Working in this field developed in me a big sense of challenge also on unfeminine tasks such as drive a truck, use chainsaws, brush cutters, tractors and much more. Today life and experiences led me to decide to live in the countryside, farm my land and continue to project web sites, graphics, gardens, houses and all that allows me to express my creativity fully. I opened a nursery of old roses and I hold gardening courses for adults and children.
