Vegetation Villa Celle
The Villa celle park is endowed with a varied vegetation that can be defined with three structural types: woodland, hedges and shrubs, and lawns. In addition to these semi-natural types, there are the trees scattered or in rows along paths and alleys that innervate the property, or isolated in the open spaces. The value of this vegetation is immediately perceived and is mostly attributable to the quantity of old trees present, plus the specific variety.
The point survey of the trees shows that 234 trees have a stem diameter of more than 50 cm at 1.3 metres from the ground, and 28 more than 80 cm.
The maximum height reaches 35 metres and belongs to a plane tree (Platanus occidentalis) and a turkey oak (Quercus cerris). There are almost 200 trees taller than 20 metres.
The great variety of species in the wooded areas is due to the origin of the vegetation, which was mostly planted when the park was renovated in the mid-19th century. The dominant species, however, is the holm oak, which is spontaneous (indigenous) in the woods and thickets of the Tuscan hills. Species such as pines, firs, cedars, Douglas firs, etc. are allochthonous species, i.e. they do not belong to the local flora and do not tend to form woods and thickets spontaneously; they need man to propagate them.
The shrub undergrowth is also lush, with laurel, freckle and box predominating.
The farm
Celle is a workshop where artistic creativity is measured daily against nature, where poems are read in the greenhouses and works of art take eternal root in the fields.
The Fattoria di Celle works in harmony with the land and its inhabitants (trees, flowers, wolves, deer, hares, chickens, birds, wild ducks). Since 2019 it has undertaken the definitive conversion to organic farming.
