The last significant reconstruction of the Gardens of Vatican City seems to have occurred four centuries ago. The Renaissance and Baroque styles reflect the views at the time: the precisely tailored ornamental geometric landscape symbolized the refinement of Creation by hyper-domestication. Since then, much has changed. We are now well aware of the impacts of our excessive intervention on the Earth system. Trees and plankton are becoming scarce, biodiversity is collapsing, petrochemical agriculture is inexorably depleting the soil, climate change is running wild, genetic engineering threatens a heritage that has existed since millennia, etc. Faced with this, His Holiness Francis \u2013 thus named for his affinity to Saint Francis of Assisi \u2013 is the first Pope in history to have dedicated an encyclical to ecology (Laudato Si\u2019, On care for our common home<\/em>, 2015).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To transform words into actions, we propose to turn a portion of the 23 hectares of the Vatican\u2019s green spaces into a permaculture forest garden – a self-regulated ecosystem, which would provide a home to a wide range of biodiversity and provide healthy food. Regional nurseries could provide heirloom seed varieties and endangered plant species. The harvested produce could be used for local consumption, including at the Vatican\u2019s homeless shelters (the Dono di Maria and the Dono di Misericordia).
This tangible transformation, which combines an ecological and a humane approach, could be fulfilled with the support of the Vatican\u2019s gardeners, the energy of young volunteers from various dioceses, the involvement of marginalized or physically challenged persons, and the supervision of internationally renowned permaculture designers.
The plantation of this \u201cedible forest garden\u201d would represent a spiritual and educational experience that all contributors could bring back to their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire transformation process could be the subject of a documentary film, which would share the project’s inspiration in the dioceses involved and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les jardins du Vatican au diapason de Laudato Si\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

En collaboration avec le Dicast\u00e8re pour le service du d\u00e9veloppement humain int\u00e9gral. 2015-2000.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le dernier grand remodelage des jardins du Vatican semble remonter \u00e0 quatre si\u00e8cles. Leurs styles Renaissance et Baroque correspondaient aux vues de l\u2019\u00e9poque\u00a0: ces paysages g\u00e9om\u00e9triques \u00e0 vocation ornementale et travaill\u00e9s au ciseau symbolisaient le perfectionnement de la cr\u00e9ation par l\u2019hyper domestication. Depuis, les choses ont bien chang\u00e9. Nous sommes d\u00e9sormais conscients des impacts de notre emprise excessive sur la Cr\u00e9ation. Les arbres et le plancton viennent \u00e0 manquer, la biodiversit\u00e9 s\u2019effondre, l\u2019agriculture p\u00e9trochimique appauvrit inexorablement les sols, le climat s\u2019emballe, le g\u00e9nie g\u00e9n\u00e9tique menace un patrimoine plurimill\u00e9naire, etc. Face \u00e0 ces constats in\u00e9dits, Fran\u00e7ois est le premier pape de l\u2019histoire \u00e0 avoir consacr\u00e9 une lettre encyclique \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cologie (Laudato Si\u2019, Sur la sauvegarde de la maison commune<\/em>, 2015).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour qu\u2019au discours succ\u00e8dent les actes, nous proposons la conversion d\u2019une portion des 23\u00a0hectares d\u2019espaces verts que compte le Vatican en une for\u00eat nourrici\u00e8re permacole, soit un \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me auto-r\u00e9gul\u00e9, abritant une grande biodiversit\u00e9 et producteur d\u2019aliments sains. Nous pourrons nous associer \u00e0 des conservatoires locaux pour obtenir des semences rustiques ou menac\u00e9es d\u2019extinction. Les r\u00e9coltes obtenues pourront \u00eatre consomm\u00e9es localement et approvisionner les foyers pour sans-abris du Vatican (le Dono di Maria et le Dono di Misericordia).
Cette conversion concr\u00e8te, reliant l\u2019\u00e9cologie et l\u2019humain, pourra \u00eatre men\u00e9e avec le concours des jardiniers du Vatican, l\u2019\u00e9nergie de jeunes volontaires venus de diff\u00e9rents dioc\u00e8ses, la participation de personnes en situation d\u2019exclusion ou porteuses de handicaps, et la supervision de permaculteurs reconnus.
La plantation de ce \u00ab\u00a0jardin-for\u00eat comestible\u00a0\u00bb constituera une exp\u00e9rience spirituelle et \u00e9ducative que les participants pourront reproduire dans leurs communaut\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019ensemble du processus pourra faire l\u2019objet d\u2019un film documentaire, fournissant ainsi un support pouvant inspirer, par ruissellement, l\u2019ensemble des dioc\u00e8ses et bien au-del\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
