At Giardina 2026, we will show how sustainable materials become vibrant garden art. These living, planted tufa stones combine nature, design, and sustainability in an impressive way. They serve as living supports for mosses, ferns, and finely textured plants.
A true work of natural art!
These tufa stones, artfully planted, are unique in the world.
What you see is the result of years of work, intensive research, and development: What works? What doesn’t? Which plants harmonize with the stone in the long term?
Here, deep expertise, experience, and genuine passion for nature and design come together.
Mosses, ferns, and finely structured plants merge in harmonious shades of green into a living organism—grown over years.
Each planted tufa stone is a unique piece and an expression of patience, dedication, and knowledge of lithophytes—plants that grow in or on stones.
The artist and designer of these extraordinary biotopes is
Roland Frei, whose passion is to make nature alive and perceptible to all the senses.
