    The garden

    A gardener from the Périgord’s views on the Mediterranean landscape. It is a landscape of grandeur, colours, smells, biodiversity, full of emotion but also of great fragility. This is also the meeting of perspectives, the resilience of the landscape and its ability to give us hope: a landscape without limits. This concept simply combines perspective with perspective. The perspective of the landscape to be renewed after its destruction, its rebirth...

    The natural renewal, a perspective of rebirth which is embodied by the egg, symbol of fecundity, the Aleppo Pines, a plant bomb which by its cones exploding in the fire, will spread its pioneer seeds. The egg, brought to life in space and in contrast by the fire of vertical and horizontal lines. A mikado game of burnt trunks, intertwined in the space of the pines, where seats for the " explorer " are perched. A contrasting effect is created on the ground by the tile and terracotta which reminds us of the destruction of heritage by fire. The garden emphasises the natural regeneration of burnt landscapes...

    Team

    The Serra Paysage team comprises some thirty gardeners, only five of whom have the honour of being involved in its set-up on D-day. However, as with every adventure, Franck SERRA brings his whole team on board! During the preparatory period, the whole company is mobilised to help the final team. A collective strength recognised over the years with a very strong spirit of mutual aid and solidarity.

    The creators wanted to share their joy at taking part in the festival with other players in the landscape sector by inviting a representative of the Compagnons du Devoir into the team. On the day, the team was made up of Julien Plane, who is now project manager after a career in boiler making. Christophe Plane, who changed his career to the world of landscaping at the age of 40 after having been a butcher for 20 years, and who has been a foreman for the past three years at Serra Paysage.

    Hugo Montant, one of their BTS apprentices, representing the youth and the future of the profession. And finally, Antoine Tabareau, head of landscape studies at the Compagnons du Devoir. The team chosen reflects the range of people involved in the sector and is the pride of its ambassador and project leader Franck Serra.

    Lucas Finocchio, Campus Vert d'Azur apprentice.
