A conference and plenary symbolic landscape / day will take place at the Fate Garden House

Over time, the managers of the Destiny Garden have raised many practical issues. Why do any plants do not live in this environment, how to choose flowers, ornamental plants for flower beds, so that they not only look beautiful, but also fit into the common symbolic message and complement it. There are many questions, but they require powerful answers from the professional environment. Because the Garden of Destiny is not a simple garden, but a place with a deep symbolic meaning.

Many years of cooperation, consultations with professionals from the Latvian University of Bioscience and Technology, this year resulted in the decision to come together in the Garden of Fate, to re -raise important issues and see them in a symbolic context.

Institute of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Engineering, Professor, Leading Researcher Natalia Nitavska: “The author of the Destiny Garden project Japanese landscape architect Shunmyo Masuno (Masuno Shunmyo), When the Destiny Garden was designed, the symbols of our people were also thoroughly studied.

The aim of the conference is to delve deeply into the landscape of this particular place again and to develop a conceptual plan for closer and further future for greenery.

We have been working with the Destiny Garden for a long time. When I helped choose the plants that we planted at the memorial site in the Garden of Destiny, we decided that it would be an apple tree. Because Latvians have been a mother symbol since ancient times. And it’s not an ordinary apple – it’s a wildcound. It is even closer to the roots of the people, more real, real.

At the conference, we will talk about both associative symbols directly related to nature and cognitive. Let’s speak at a deeper level of understanding and these conversations will end with the plenary. We have also invited landscape architects to attend the conference, as well as representatives of the smart administration and regional administration. «
