Casa Nirvana
mare & terraSay it with a tree
Say it with a tree, was conceived with the desire to protect and diversify local ecology by planting new trees indigenous to the Mediterranean landscape.
The tree you gift will be planted on our land at Casa Nirvana, situated in the beautiful Vallo di Cilento and Diano National Park, and will contribute to mitigate CO2 emissions and support climate stability.
Say it with a tree allows you to give a special gift to someone you love, including yourself, and to nature. Choose from: Olive, Pomegranate, Strawberry Tree, Carob, White Willow, Catalpa
Since Greco-Roman times, each tree has been associated with more than one meaning. They have been protagonists of myths, legends, and considered symbols of the cycle of life.
Each tree has its own essence, message to convey, and story to tell. Let’s discover them together below!
