The first part of the book reports its evolution and, together with personal pictures, trace an evolutionary line of site, setting times compared to the current state with the past. A part of this rich text follows a purely photographic divided into several sections devoted to the space around the house, the garden, the valley of Gunnar, water (element applicant in this as in all the gardens of Pejrone), flowers and blooms.

It remains central to the theories that make great Pejrone: beauty is based on little and the total respect of nature, plants and their "dignity."
