Nestled in the heart of Vrbanj, a peaceful inland village known for its stone houses, sun-soaked hills, and timeless Mediterranean charm, this garden is a quiet refuge designed to reconnect its owners with the rhythms of nature. For the past four years, we’ve had the privilege of continuously maintaining and refining this space, allowing it to evolve organically while staying deeply aligned with its original vision: a natural sanctuary rooted in beauty, biodiversity, and balance.

The garden celebrates the beauty and versatility of Mediterranean plant life that shift gracefully with the seasons. It was thoughtfully designed not only for aesthetic appeal but to serve an ecological purpose – regenerating the soil, encouraging local pollinators, and fostering systemic plant resilience. One of the defining features of this garden is its water-wise irrigation system, which supports long-term sustainability in Hvar’s dry summers while reducing the need for constant intervention.

But even the most elegantly designed garden requires careful, consistent care. Here, ongoing professional maintenance plays a vital role in its success. Pruning, shredding pruned material and mulching with it, composting, and expert observation allow this landscape to flourish, not just survive, with minimal input from the client. The Butterfly Garden is a living example of how expert care, regenerative principles, and aesthetic refinement can come together to create a space that feels timeless, effortless, and alive. It’s not only a retreat for its owners but a thriving ecosystem – resilient, poetic, and deeply in tune with its surroundings.
