landscaping design responds to a farm nortino were designed stripes composed of rows of native plants and rainfed interspersed with rows of stones in the area.
plants and stone, familiar to the place called, allowed a short time to build the park, dragonflies appeared and butterflies along with the foliage, the scent of lavender, and the freshness of the small bodies of water, turned the project into a small oasis in the desert.
