Behind The Scenes Of The Vatican

Behind The Scenes Of The Vatican

Gardeners working in the gardens of the Vatican on November 10, 2025 . Between the box hedges and clusters of yews, we catch a glimpse of a group of gardeners busily digging, pruning and watering the foliage .This earthly paradise is maintained with great care and is open only to a few privileged visitors for security reasons. Umbrella pines, cedars, beeches and olive trees shadow the numerous pathways and flower beds. The gardens cover nearly one hundred acres of the Vatican's entire property. Besides the upkeep of the trees and plants, the gardeners also are in charge of providing floral decorations for ceremonies which take place on Saint Peter's Square and in the Basilica.

This initiative has provided a new and lucrative income source for local farmers. In Shanshan County, villagers are busy pruning grapevines and hand-selecting grape leaves. The leaves will then be delivered to collection points for assessment, weighing, and payment. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): SIKANDAR WULARAYN, Local villager "In the past, we would feed the

(231030) -- EJINA BANNER, Oct. 30, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Delg (R) and her son pose for a photo after pruning Haloxylon plants in Ejina Banner of Alxa League, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Oct. 28, 2023. Su He, dubbed a "role model of the times," was a retired cadre living near the Heicheng relic site, a well preserved ancient city on the Silk Road, in Ejina Banner. Su and her wife Delg planted a Haloxylon forest covering 3,500 mu (about 233.33 hectares) from 2004 to 2021, which still serves as an ecological shield against sandstorms to the Heicheng relic site. Delg and their son stayed to take care of and expand the Haloxylon forest after Su's passing in 2021. Bungalows built by Su and Delg when they initially took root in the desert in 2004 still stand there, but are now flanked by trees. The Su family chose to keep composing an ode to life and green in this rarely visited area of desert. (Xinhua/Lian Zhen)
