Attraverso la cornucopia
Allariz (Spain) - finalist
The garden aims to portray the theme of plenty not simply intended as quantity and ridundant. It is instead explained through the recreation of a natural microsystem rich in biodiversity: the field edge, the wood beginning, a water pool, isolated fruit trees groups. Biodiversity as the opposition to the overblown simplification of contemporary life producting processes and so on as the natural enviroment abundancy and richness. The swings also mean to show an other subtle aspect of the plenty concept: plenty as entertainment, freedom, children play, life treasures. Along the garden visit, you discover printed images of animal to protect, suffering of extintion risk, widespread in the territories around the municipality of Allariz. These very colourful animals represent the air, water and heath elements: Salamandra salamandra, Alcedo atthis and Inachis io. Each of those animals live near water, fields, forests.
