Intragnola – Botanical Garden Lake MaggioreVisit at Fattoria di Bibbiani
We owe so many beautiful trees to the work of Pierlorenzo and Donatella Marchiafava.
Their nursery (pinirari.it) is located in one of the most exquisite villas of Tuscany, whose garden was created by the agronomist Cosimo Ridolfi, around 1800.
Here is a glimpse of the gardens.

Lagerstroemia indica
This group of large, old, Lagerstroemia indica, shaded by large Magnolia grandiflora, were virtually dead, showing no leafs, no flowers.
After a careful preparation, they were all transplanted to a sunny spot, near the entrance of the Polidora B&B.
Weighting about 2.5 T, it was not a joke to carry them around the garden, but the transplant was a huge success: they all survived, and flowered the very first summer in the new home.
