Park of Arboreal Archaeology – Città di Castello

Description

The Arboreal Archaeology project, located in the countryside between Umbria and Tuscany, stands on the site of an ancient hermitage immersed in the greenery of the high Tiber countryside. Creator Isabella Dalla Ragione established the park with the Foundation of Arboreal Archaeology based in San Lorenzo di Lerchi, in Città di Castello (PG). A search of abandoned fields, ancient convent kitchen orchards, gardens, woods, and the stories of old farmers, lead to the recovery of about 400 varieties of fruit, now planted following traditions, popular uses and cultivation systems. A small contribution is enough to adopt a plant in the collection, and have the right to eat its fruits.
