Lessive en fleurs

A string of coloured clothes hangs above this luminous garden, swaying in the wind, echoing the colours that bring it to life. Inciting a lightness of heart and the simple pleasure of contemplation, this garden develops around one strong central idea; that of the colour created by tinctorial plants. A main pathway made of shelly sand, gives structure to the plot and, through its design, creates nine areas planted with tinctorial plants, in a gradation of shades from carmine to blue running from the entrance of the plot to its centre.
