Sheltered for the Winter.


Sweet life! how lovely to be here 
And feel the soft sea-laden breeze 
Strike my flushed face, the spruce's fair 
Free limbs to see, the lesser trees' 

Bare hands to touch, the sparrow's cheep 
To heed, and watch his nimble flight 
Above the short brown grass asleep. 
Love glorious in his friendly might, 

Music that every heart could bless, 
And thoughts of life serene, divine, 
Beyond my power to express, 
Crowd round this lifted heart of mine!


Claude McKay (1889 - 1948), Winter in the Country




They're clear and sunny days those of this first decade of the Winter and the beginning of the new year, serene, but also rather cold.




Nothing better for the rest of our succulent and Mediterranean plants that are now recovered in our ORANGERIE at the beginning of December to preserve them like every year from the cold season, sheltered from the frost and the most intense frost that they cannot stand.
The most delicate plants do not stand out here, but it is enough to give them a shelter to allow them to spend their Winter healthy and to find themselves in Spring looking very good.
Just follow me, I'm leading you in our 'tools-and-plants-shed' located in the heart of the Tenuta Geremia park.








It is quite small in size - around 20 square metres - but it is enough to accommodate the plants and furnishings that in the Summer show themselves among the foliage of the perennial shrubs and the trees populating our gardens.

On the outside, a sober Palladian style suggests an extremely rigorous setting inside too,


actually, with chalk and wooden walls and ceilings, in its inside simplicity reigns sovereign making it every year welcoming more and more ... obviously it is not heated and, when outside the temperatures have to go down even a lot, here the mercury column does not go beyond the thermal zero, which is static, harmless even for the most delicate plants.

And it's just here that succulents, with the cold, the sunlight and their vegetativ rest, get themselves ready for their Spring blooming 








“Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, 
and they seem to issue from nothingness 
with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day.”


Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941), Night and Day




And on these verses that recreate the characteristic charm of the Winter late afternoons,

I'm sending you my warmest hug,



see you soon 💕












Dolce Vita! che bello essere qui
E sentire la leggera brezza rorida di mare
Colpire il mio volto arrossato, l'abete se ne giova
Ha arti liberi per lasciar vedere gli alberi più piccoli

Ha mani nude per toccare, e prestare attenzione al trillo del passero
E osservare il suo volo agile
Sopra la corta erba bruciata e addormentata.
Amore glorioso nella sua forza gentile,

Musica che ogni cuore può benedire,
E pensieri di vita serena, divina,
Oltre il mio potere di esprimere,
Si accalcano intorno a questo mio cuore risollevato!


Claude McKay (1889 - 1948), Winter in the Country

Sono giorni sereni quelli di questa prima decade dell'inverno e dell'inizio del nuovo anno, sereni, ma anche piuttosto freddi.



- immagine 2

Niente di meglio chiedono le piante grasse e mediterranee che all'inizio di dicembre ricoverai nella nostra ORANGERIE per preservarle come ogni anno dalla stagione fredda, al riparo dalla brina e dal gelo più intenso che non reggono.

Non resistono qui all'aperto le piante più delicate, ma è sufficiente dar loro un ricovero per consentire loro di trascorrere l'inverno in salute e per ritrovarsi in primavera in gran forma.

Venite, vi accompagno nel nostro 'ricovero attrezzi e piante' situato nel cuore del parco di Tenuta Geremia.

E' di modeste dimensioni - copre una superficie di circa 20 metri quadri - ma è sufficiente per accogliere le piante e gli arredi che in estate fanno mostra di sé tra le chiome degli arbusti perenni e degli alberi che popolano i nostri giardini.

All'esterno un sobrio stile palladiano fa pensare ad un ambiente estremamente rigoroso, 



- immagine 12



in realtà al suo interno, con pareti e soffitti in legno, governa la semplicità che ogni anno lo rende sempre più accogliente ... ovviamente non è riscaldato e, quando le temperature all'esterno dovessero scendere anche di molto, qui la colonnina del mercurio non si spinge oltre lo zero termico, statico, innocuo anche per le piante più gracili.

Ed è proprio qui che le succulente, con il fresco, la luce del sole ed il riposo vegetativo, si preparano per la loro fioritura primaverile.

Mai si danno voci così belle come quelle di una sera d’inverno, 
quando il crepuscolo quasi nasconde il corpo, 
e le parole sembrano provenire da una assenza 
con una nota di intimità raramente ascoltata durante 
giorno. 


Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941), Night and Day




- immagine 18




E su questi versi che ricreano il fascino caratteristico dei tardi pomeriggi d'inverno, 
vi invio il mio più caloroso abbraccio,


a presto 💕

  5. It is so cold here, I wonder if anything will make it this winter. Although the mild winters with the light freeze and thaw cycle can do way more damage, than an entirely dormant winter. Your photos are lovely---and so remind me of Monticello and Jefferson's Orangerie...where he actually had Orange and Lemon trees.

      that's not a squirrel, but a 'relative' of his, Dearie, he's a dormouse, we have so many of them under our roofs and into our woods.
      During the Autumn they look for a comfortable place where to spend their Winter, and sometimes they wake up to eat just a little, and then come back to sleep again, until Spring arrives.
      Well, this so wonderful creature has chosen our Orangerie to spend his Winter, I'm feeling so, so happy looking at him :)!

    1. Laurie,
      Sweet friend of mine, I'm so glad you've enjoyed this post of mine!
      You know, we have two winter gardens where the most delicate plants can spend the coldest months of the year, and my home is filled with plants too, I love them and they seem to feel it and always reciprocate my attentions and care.
      Sending my dearest love to you,
      and have a lovely end of your week ಌ•❤•ಌ
