Beautiful, isn’t it? I'm trying to tell you something:The garden is located near Borgomanero in Piedmont, it is open to the visit all year simply calling and arranging with the friendly owner (Dr. U.Cammarano ). It surrounds the old house and is divided into separate rooms by hedges of boxwood, yew and hornbeam; it is famous for its large collection of Hamamelis , including some species ( Virginiana , Vernalis , Mollis and japonica ) and numerous cultivars ( Aphrotide , Arnold promise , Boskoop , Feuerzauber , George , Harry , Jelena , Pallida, Ruby Glow , Westerstede, etc. )… Scent is everywhere, thanks also to numerous specimens of Sarcococca and Daphne; then, under the trees there are beautiful blooms (Cyclamen , Crocus , Galanthus , Leucojum , Eranthis and the uncommon Hacquetia epipactis ). On the back of the house you can find some birches ( B.nigra eritage , utilis Jaquemontii , Chichibuensis , Costata ) Acer ( conspicuum , erytrocladium , tegmentosum ) and a nice Prunus serrula. Beyond two columns of bricks, where you can enter the room formerly dedicated to the preparation of bread, in the most shadowy area, grow different varieties of ivy and Ilex ( Belgica aurea , lawsoniana , Nellie Stevens aquifolium ).The tour ends back in the courtyard in front of the house where there are a Prunus campanulatus from the Isola Madre ( Borromean Islands ), a Tilia Winter Orange ( Mr. Umberto says he saw it for the first time in the courtyard of the house of Jelena de Belder at Hemelrijk) and some cultivars of Aucuba Japonica and Hydrangea.The garden is apparently set to give his best during the cold season, it would be interesting to see what happens in the rest of the year… I should go back there! ;)
