For the past 200 years, the Allavena family has worked with Mediterranean plants and gardens. Today, Giovanni and his son Frederico are at the helm. As nursery-owners, they propose a fine selection of trees, plants and flowers. Palm-trees, some centuries old, enjoy a privileged place, though one also discovers cacti, olive and fruit trees... As landscapers, they can transform a gardn from A to Z, with a fondness for the Japanese style. From northern Italy to Corsica and Marseille, these experts propose landscaping plans that they first prepare on the computer before attacking the work on site. The aim is to create an environment while respecting nature and the client's tastes. A programme that Giovanni anf Frederico Allavena carry out with mastery and skill. www.cactusallavena.com
