Judi Harvest: "March 21, 2013, I began the Murano Honey Garden™ on the grounds of the Giorgio Giuman glass factory in Sacca Serenella as the permanent part of my site specific installation, “Denatured: Honeybees + Murano.” Six boatloads of soil, 100 carpets of sod, 500 flowering plants, 30 fruit trees, and a 100 year old pomegranate tree later, we installed 4 honeybee families in brightly colored hives. By August, 2013 the garden produced over 60 nectarines and 60 kilos of honey, 25 pomegranates and several picnics."
Now in 2024, the Murano Honey Garden has become an oasis which continues to inspire and bring joy for all who visit.
Along with the honeybees we produce approximately 250 jars of honey per year.
Every September we gather to celebrate nature, Murano and pollinators at the Annual Murano Honey Garden Picnic.
