The Wetland Garden includes a pond able to sustain a rich biodiversity of plants, insects and little animals. A healthy and lasting wetland garden contains the right mix of swamp, floating and submerged plants, enabling them to grow rich and beautiful in all seasons and water to require limited or no filtration. At Paola Lenti Milano the space reserved to the wetland garden is featured, in addition to the pond with aquatic plants, by two pools containing trees and shrubs. The southern border wall sees a massive presence of climbing plants with a delicate fragrance with the function to mitigate temperature during the warmer season. From the roof, a fringe of drooping plants will give lightness and movement to the space. Some of the species planted include Schinus molle, Osmanthus Burkwoodii, Cyperus papyrus, Lespedeza thunbergii.

The Pollinator Rooftop is an ecosystem composed of plants that provide food and shelter to pollinating animals such as bees, birds and butterflies. These species represent the base of food production and safety and are steadily decreasing. The spontaneous and wild garden in the space of Via Bovio is brought to life on the central roof, visible from the other buildings of the estate, generating an unprecedented visual impact. Its presence guarantees the health of all the other ecosystems. Plants are selected according to their limited water needs and include more than 30 species with different blooms, offering this way an always different landscape and an oasis regenerating urban biodiversity. Among the different plants giving life to the roof of Paola Lenti Milano are Gaura lindheimeri, Muhlenbergia capillaris, Pistacia lentiscus, Rosmarinus officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia, Helichrysum italicum, Salvia microhpylla, Perovskia atriplicifolia.

The Edible Forest Garden is a natural habitat mimicking the ecosystem of a natural forest capable of supporting the biodiversity and created with the juxtaposition of plants of different species, including fruit trees, medicinal, and edible plants. In the design of an edible forest garden different levels are taken into consideration, characterized by plants with different heights: tall trees with large foliage, bushes of medium height, up to herbaceous and mushrooms. Its function at Paola Lenti Milano is also the creation of synergies with the hospitality activities of the showroom, supplying edible and fragrant seeds, flowers and leaves that may contribute to the gourmet offer.

The Tropical Courtyard is an environment where people can rest and relax surrounded by plants. The space is occupied by vigorous banana trees and luxuriant palm trees. The space, protected on four sides, provides the ideal climate conditions for such plants to thrive. Here, man is the guest and plants are the host. An enveloping space aimed at fostering the guests’ psychophysical well-being, preparing the mind for creative thinking. In the Tropical Courtyard the plants are: Washingtonia robusta, Musa ensete maurellii, Butia calpitata, Leucospermum Ayoba pink.

The Perennial Garden is the central pathway of the showroom, where all visitors and guests converge. Greenery here is conceived as a dynamic system, constantly evolving. Perennials possess the characteristic of regeneration, change, and colonization, generating the space where they are inserted, generating ever-new patterns and dispositions. The garden will never appear bare because it is designed with species of varying seasonality and includes some evergreens. The presence of large trees will mitigate the heat peaks across the entire area during the warmest season, creating environmental comfort and physical well-being. Among the selected species are: Cinnamomum camphora, Ginko Biloba fastigiata, Acer palmatum, Cotinus coggygria (Young lady).

The Cocoon, or the green set up of the terraces, thanks to the selection of evergreen plants, aims to offer guests a cozy and enveloping shelter from noise and prying eyes in every season. The inclusion of some spring-flowering species ensures a sense of seasonality and change.
