Custodi del Giardino: Olive Tree Adoption
Il Giardino & Your Guardianship
Il Giardino is an enchanting family farm in Puglia, Italy, dedicated to protecting biodiversity through sustainable olive farming. By becoming a "Guardian of Il Giardino," you directly help the Labianca family care for their olive trees, keep it open to visitors, and continue creating their remarkable olive oil. This is a meaningful way to connect with a local producer — and it also makes an ideal gift.
