BECOME A CUSTODE (GUARDIAN) OF IL GIARDINO
How Your Guardianship Makes a Difference
When you become a guardian, you directly support the sustainable practices of the Labianca family and help this small-scale producer to continue working with sustainable methods and diversify their work. Your contribution enables Il Giardino, an enchanting sanctuary where olive groves, vineyards, and fruit trees form a living museum of traditional Italian agriculture, to remain enchanting and not only produce authentic products, but also organize cultural events and educational initiatives.
The support of each guardian maintains a specific part of this beautiful land, preserving traditional methods in an era of industrial agriculture. Now that climate patterns are changing and market pressure is increasing, your involvement helps to preserve not only the trees, but an entire way of life for future generations.
