Sheffield -- Campo de' Fiori
Object Details
- General
- The garden was started in the 1980's for the commercial production of lettuce, which the owner sold at a farm stand along with Mexican pottery. In 1990 the crop changed to ornamentals for cutting, in keeping with the garden's name, which translates to field of flowers. The rectangular garden was designed in four sections with crossed axes; where the grassed paths crossed there was an obelisk. A rustic pergola stood at an entrance. A warehouse and retail store building was added to the property in 1996, to sell proprietary terra cotta pottery with moss accretions and garden ornaments. The latest garden wraps around this building, landscaped with trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and container plantings.
