Il piccolo orto del Dada's Cottage non dorme mai. Ogni giorno chiede attenzione, mani pazienti e occhi che sappiano ascoltare la terra. Non basta seminare: serve amare ogni germoglio, cogliere ogni silenziosa trasformazione, rispettare i suoi tempi lenti.
Solo così, con costanza e cura, l’orto restituisce il meglio. È fatica, sì. Ma è anche magia quotidiana.

The ancient celebration of Sv. Ivan returns to light up the village with its timeless magic. Among folk songs and symbol-rich rituals, the community gathers to honor its roots and sense of belonging. As every year, the warm presence of the Mayor of Grožnjan, Claudio Stocovaz, highlights the importance of this tradition. Dada’s Cottage also joins in with a spirit of sharing, weaving together tradition and community spirit
