Perspectives d'avenirs (Prospects for the future)

Perspectives d'avenirs is a garden with optical illusions and visual barriers that is arranged as an evolving path.

The visitor is first confronted with the ravages of complacency. It is a falsely radiant world of illusion represented by a lack of plant diversity, a single-species palette, water-intensive lawns and invasive plants. It parallels the choices made by humanity that have led to the environmental crisis we are experiencing today.

A transitional area allows visitors to understand the problems through an exhibition.

The final part of the tour is resilience. We find more virtuous and more adapted choices in the form of Mediterranean vegetation that is resistant to water stress and an alternative grass that is beneficial to biodiversity and does not consume much, and finally organic mulching of the soil to improve its structure.
