Greenspace Dedicated To Peace

The first time we saw a "hidden" garden was in Paris on our pilgrimage to the World Climate Conference 2015. It was a small community garden, nicknamed "Jardin de Poètes" after it's famous big brother. ...

It was Elsa one of our hosts in these days who was working there with all sorts of people and invited us to come along. In Scotland "The Hidden Garden" exists to promote understanding between people of all cultures, faiths and backgrounds. So do many community gardens around the world. On the website of The Hidden Garden it says: " It celebrates the universal spirit of nature, with subtile references to the paradise gardens that have evolved over the last three thousand years." Not only a vision but a reality that is very much needed in our times of (social) alienation.​
