Project for a garden, Rome, Italy

In the midst of a bustling city, there lies a serene and peaceful garden that celebrates the circle of life. As you enter, you are immediately transported into a world of greenery and tranquillity, where the sounds of the city fade away, and the gentle rustle of leaves becomes the only sound you can hear.

The garden works as a service of a seniors living hotel in Rome. A Hotel for people who have decided to leave home and live the last period of their lives in relaxation and peace.

The garden has been carefully designed to represent the cycle of life, from birth to death and everything in between. As you walk through the winding paths, you will see a wide variety of plants and trees, each representing a different stage of life.

The garden begins with a section dedicated to the birth of new life. Here, you will find rows of brightly coloured flowers, just starting to bloom. The air is filled with the sweet scent of budding flowers and the soft chirping of newborn birds.

As you continue your journey through the garden, you will come across a section dedicated to growth and development. Here, you will find towering trees, with thick trunks and branches reaching towards the sky. These trees represent the strength and resilience that is necessary for life to flourish.

Further along, you will come across a section dedicated to maturity and productivity. Here, you will find fruit trees, heavy with ripe fruit, and rows of vegetables, bursting with vitality. This section represents the time of life where we are at our most productive, and we use our strength and knowledge to create and build.

As you approach the end of the garden, you will come across a section dedicated to aging where a vegetable garden waits to harvest the ripe products. This section represents the natural cycle of life, where everything eventually comes to an end.

As you exit the garden, you will feel a sense of peace and contentment, knowing that you have experienced the beauty and complexity of the circle of life. The garden serves as a reminder
