The Planetary Gardens: from the pedagogy of seeds and good soil to the Garden, it’s an environmental and educational initiative aimed at rewilding neglected public and private spaces by encouraging the natural development of wild botanical species and designing and creating new biodiversity refuges. The project actively involves local communities—especially schools—to promote environmental education and ecological awareness.

Its main goals are to increase vegetative cover, regenerate soil, improve microclimates, and enhance biodiversity through the planting of native and bioindicator plant species. The project includes seed collection and preservation, biodiversity monitoring, and hands-on training in sustainable land care.

The approach is highly pedagogical: trees are introduced to children as new “classmates” with whom they grow and learn, turning each garden into a vibrant living classroom and biodiversity lab.

The project is led by the Faremo Foresta Association and will take place between October 2025 and October 2026 across Elba Island, Grosseto, and Florence.
