DISCOVER THE GARDEN

Created in 1998, this garden dedicated to subtropical and tropical species emanates from a former garden created in the north of Corsica in 1984. Lots of plants have been rescued with some difficulty due to a different soil composition and the lack of moisture. Those which have readapted are now in full growth.

From the steepness and the already existing vegetation which needed to be kept, the track to the house winds for 250 meters naturally delimiting seven islets of greenery. Therefore, the idea came to me to dedicate each islet to a geographic zone, to help during the transplantations but also to give visitors a better understanding of the vegetation of those zones.

But why this name « U Giardinu di l’Isuli » which means "The Islands Garden” in south Corsican language?

Islets …, Isles …, for more than half the plants come from islands …, on an island, maybe the most beautiful one: Corsica …, my island ….
