Nature at the center of our attentions, which brings value to society that gives meaning to environmental sustainability starting from the plant communities. The garden will consist of perennials from different geographic areas compatible with each other according to a scheme layered vertically according to the "community plants garden" approach, that is, plants that grow and generate a community between resilient and competitive.
The plants will have a characterization such as to be seen as an enlarged living plant community in an evocative, abstract landscape.
Within the plant pattern there will also be "host" plants, compared to the usual environmental context, which will bring their contribution to the balance of the garden and some important perennial plants (signature plants) that can generate attention and evidence in the plant pattern. The trees and plant essences will come from all continents, creating a fusion of contributions and stories and creating a rich image of the garden in the different seasons.

The intervention also wants to be an opportunity to give the city and its inhabitants a space not only capable of generating beauty, but also to give the city the opportunity to open up to the themes of the balance of the planet in the contribution of living plant species as an example. of positive collaboration.

The garden with the seasonal variation will generate different levels of flowering and appearance in order to create interest and interaction with the city user (resident, tourist, worker, student) also with horizontal reflective devices (urban device) inserted within the plant pattern that they will generate attraction, bringing the architecture of the square into the garden and creating a dynamism given by the variable surroundings (people, sky, vegetation).
The garden will also be the backdrop and scenario for artistic and social activities.
