In a series of four short, non-professional videos the Prince of Ylliriel shows the section of the garden by the sea he takes care of. The images aren't always clear, but what matters is the message behind them.
A great diversity of plants, trees, shrubs and vines is showed, all planted by the Prince, and under his regular care.
The philosophy of the Prince, when he starts taking care of a new garden, or a new area within an existing garden, is to build narrow paths of stones in order to prevent wanderers from walking anywhere else. The paths of stone allow to structure the garden. Later on, in the places that receive the most sunlight, the Prince builds raised beds. Close to these raised beds, he plants small fruit trees that will slowly grow, while the vegetables and fruits sprouting in the raised beds will thrive in the meanwhile nearby. This is how after four years of intensive care, the garden's section that the Prince shows in his videos looks like a highly productive orchard, providing a great diversity of vegetables, fruits and salads.
