Folding for peace

This is a stunning garden in Nagasaki, Japan, as part of a project called ‘folding for peace’, commissioned by the Gardening World Cup. It was completely made up of hand folded flowers and took 15 people two weeks to make.

The message behind the garden is based on a Japanese legend that promises a wish, such as long life recovery from illness or injury, to anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes and so ‘the folding for peace garden is the physical remain of a wish for world peace’, at the same time it shows that you don’t need a high budget to create something beautiful.

This project was designed by Anouk Vogel, a Swiss architect in Amsterdam…cool eh...:)
