I giorni della merla

Starting from an initiative of the town of Pontecagnano, province of Salerno, with the support of Legambiente, over 50 community gardens have been planted. Associated with this increasingly popular movement in Italy and elsewhere are numerous advantages: ecological because the gardens promote eco-sustainable farming; social because most of the people involved are the disabled or the elderly; and cultural because the idea is to hand down farming knowledge from one generation to the next and to promote closer ties with nature.
