The ‘ideal garden’ is a place to reflect on the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. It demonstrates that humankind can only exist with nature, and that nature, in the Anthropocene age, requires human stewardship to restore balance to the cycle of life on earth.
The Garden of Reciprocity utilizes medias of reflection – mirrors and water – to make visitors consider their relationship to nature in different ways. The garden has been recognized with a “Design and Innovation Award” by The Domain of Chaumont-sur-Loire.
