Gardens of LaRomita


 As I went searching for plants, there were numerous, yet to be identified.


 
The gardens are the most beautiful here.  Wild and planted, natural and tended.  The gardener's wife is the head chef, so much of our foods are from the local garden, if not here, then still local in this part of Italy.


 

Window boxes, planters, and wild growings straight from the stone flourish.  The vegetable gardens are tucked away and can be seen off and on in small patches as you look down the hill, on various terraces and homes.


 
 
Oleanders are everywhere, overlooking the town.
