Dubai Miracle Garden.

The largest flower garden on the planet is in Dubai, one of the aridest countries in the world but thanks to technological advances have been able to implement a drop-by-drop irrigation system where water arrives directly at the root of the plant, thus saving 80% water and electric power.

Rejoice your sight and spirit with the blossoming pyramids, stars, igloos, and hearts. Marvel at an unprecedented flower wall, or stroll under a sky of colorful umbrellas.

The garden is closed for four months a year due to the extreme heat that prevents the flowers from flourishing.

The Garden Villa D`Este.

For the second place, we went to historic Italy where we found the Jardin Villa d`Este, a wonderful Renaissance garden where the sound of water predominates since this is its main attraction due to the fountains, caves, and games that can be found in it. The gardens of this village are nourished by the Aniene river and by the Rivellese spring.

It is said that the garden has a mixture between the evocation of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the inspiration in the Roman hydraulic engineering, by the systems of water abduction, with an aqueduct and underground perforations, which characterize the town.

The historic park, which dates back to 1857, was designed by the architect and landscape artist Jan David Zocher and his son Louis, and has more than 15 kilometers of paths and gardens, in addition, you can find ancient trees, lakes, shrubs, infinity lawn, a mill, canals, bridges.

In short, the scientific understanding of the landscape today cannot be satisfied with formal analysis and with the publicity or standardized and academic perception, but it has to propitiate a method that includes the existential and symbolic perceptions of the different landscapes as fundamental characters of its existence, evaluation, and survival.

The construction of cities considered the maximum artificiality created by man, and other settlements is a cultural expression representative of a certain society since it reveals his conception of the world and the way that society is situated before the landscape.
