I love those summer days where the warm sun shines,
the bird flies drunk with light and gurgles,
the fragrant flowers embalm everything and the grass is so green (…)

One of those summer days I spent touring the gardens of Villa Ocampo, the last residence of the writer and patron of culture Victoria Ocampo.
The house, which her father designed for his aunt as a summer resort and Victoria inherited, was a mandatory stop for dozens of characters from the national and international culture scene since the early '40s.
My name is Paula, I'm a journalist from Buenos Aires focused on Latin American sustainable design and environmental issues.
