Guided by the theme
Body & Home , from
CASACOR São Paulo 2023 , landscaper
Mônica Costa presents a sensorial and immersive
Urban Garden of well-being and pleasure. There are 100 m² that promote
connection with nature and awaken
environmental awareness , encouraging visitors to get involved in growing plants, allowing them to better understand the
life cycle of food, the importance of water and the need for
sustainable agricultural practices .
"This experience can lead to a deeper appreciation of the environment and a greater adoption of ecological behaviors," says the professional, who is an expert in creating urban gardens,
a trend that has dominated her office's requests for post-pandemic gardens . Upon entering the space, visitors are immediately immersed in the
balcony , which seeks to explore disconnection, showing how to allow oneself
to touch, smell, cultivate, receive and be
enchanted by the wonders of nature.
The refuge has a picnic-style table, fabric sculpture and wooden benches, which mix with
Vietnamese vases , ornamental and fruit plants such as jabuticaba, olive, orange and tropical foliage. Outside, a
vertical garden was created on the wall, which is a true
oasis of beauty and tranquility due to its different species of plants, which give it a unique and
charming look .
Among the foliage, two in particular stand out: the
Philodendron Ondulata , exuberant with its vibrant green leaves, and the
Boldinho , with very delicate purple flowers. Nature is also expressed in pots with
rosemary, basil, lavender and a
mix of herbs , which includes goldfish, rue, parsley, pepper, chives, bell pepper and mint, which bring a
pleasant aroma to the environment.
“Working with the land, feeling nature, perceiving cycles and observing the dynamics of life interacting all the time,
awakens our senses , takes care of our health and nourishes us. I worked on the functional garden of the urban garden as well as a
sensory gardenWays of interacting with the space and expanding the connection, bringing beauty and functionality to the garden, that is,
body and home ”, adds the landscaper.
