“I segreti delle erbe” ("The secrets of herbs”) teaching farm wishes to be a cultural, welcoming place to allow people who come here to experience Nature, to get to know the world of herbs and scents, and to enjoy the beauty and energy of the place.
The farm is located in the municipality of Netro, in the enchanting Valle dell’Elvo, in an area surrounded by woods of European hornbeams, sessile oaks, elders, and ashes and by the clear waters of two streams.
The place abounds in wild animals, like roe deer, squirrels, foxes, Eurasian jays, woodpeckers, and the flora also has very interesting biodiversity because the land, once used for grazing, was later left uncultivated and has not been subject to any chemical treatment.
Accessibility and availability
There is an experience trail that is 90 m long and can be traversed by foot or wheelchair to look, touch, and smell the officinal herbs on an embankment at a child’s height to make the experience comfortable for and accessible to everyone.
At the end of the trail, there is a tactile route where children and adults can perceive sensory differences walking barefoot. The activity also comprises a tour of the distillation workshop and breathing in the essences.
