Gardens are part of life
Connection between humans and nature is vital to maintain the health and wellbeing, of both: people and the planet which we are responsible for.
It is truly important to transform our environment into new places where people can lead a good life regardless of age, gender, race, social status or income. Fast development of modern cities have increased pollution, damage to nature, water scarcity, global warming, loss of biodiversity, etc. It also had an impact on people through more anxiety and less happiness.
Our happiness has a great impact on the economy which our future depends on.
The solution is making beautiful and joyful places to allow people to live good lives. Contributing to a safe and nature rich environment, that can been seen as the contemporary ‘paradise garden’.
