The garden of Domus Biri is not just any garden: a garden on the shores of Lake Bracciano is a privilege, for those who design and build it, for those who care for and nurture it, and for those who pass through it, even occasionally. A place of discovery and wonder, a peaceful retreat where one can find inspiration and relief.
A garden is much more than just a collection of plants and flowers arranged in a given space. It is a place rich in symbolic meaning and relationships, capable of speaking directly to our senses and emotions.
In the Domus Biri garden, you will find many native plants that naturally thrive in our peninsula’s environment. You will recognize them by their QR code, which allows access to a wealth of information about each species: from ecology to ethnobotany, from art to fashion, including photographic details, distribution areas, specific characteristics, and much more. This way, each plant will stand out from the indistinct crowd, becoming an individual with unique traits, a name, and a presence you can recognize in the future, establishing a connection.
Thus, whether in pristine nature or a small garden, by observing, you will marvel at discovering that "beauty is nature’s rule."
The “Domus Biri Talking Garden” is a communication project by Territori e Oltre, whose main goals are promoting relationships with the local community and fostering knowledge and awareness of the plant world.
At Domus Biri, the plant world is indeed the fil rouge of living, hosting, and the art of gathering. Guests seeking tranquility will find this the ideal place to enjoy a moment of peace. Moreover, a dedicated space is reserved for guests of the Spine & Sport Clinic, where the garden represents an important new frontier, offering a remarkable synergy between nature and personal well-being, acting simultaneously on physical, mental, and emotional health.
This specially designed and curated space can be a key element in the healing process, providing a natural refuge where people can regenerate and regain balance. The combination of elements such as plants, flowers, sounds, colors, aromas, and the presence of the lake creates an environment that fosters a deep sense of serenity and connection with nature.
The Little Free Library is a place for reading but also a symbol of community and solidarity, where people can feel part of something bigger, leave behind a book that moved them, and take with them one that captivates them, reading it while sitting on a bench and admiring the beauty of the lake. A place of exchange and connection.
Through book sharing, Little Free Library Domus Biri aims to promote not only reading but also empathy and understanding among people, offering them a way to connect and share their experiences with others.
The Little Free Library network, with over 150,000 registered Little Free Libraries worldwide, represents a global movement that promotes free book sharing, encouraging reading and a sense of community through mini-libraries accessible to everyone, placed in public or private spaces to foster cultural exchange and inclusive education.
