Zappe, stivali e rastrelli

For whom that have the chance to take care of a vegetable garden – no need of a big field, a few small pots on the windowsill are enough – the harvest is, for sure, the more exciting moment. Cultivating a vegetable garden means following seasons, having respect for the time that the soil requires and the living being in it. It also means promoting biodiversity and observing the close relationship among species. With short notes based on the observation, the sociologist and writer Barbara Bernardini tells everything she has learnt from plants, from insect, from weeds or from little birds that are passing through. Along with her text, Viola Niccolai illustrates leaves, vegetables, fruits, flowers as they were of full of real sap.
