Stadt Zürich, 2021
Holdener Naturgartenbau transformed an unremarkable city garden in Zurich into a versatile, nature-friendly outdoor space. The redesign includes a dry-stone wall made of Lägern limestone, paving made from reclaimed glacial boulders, and new perennial and raised beds. Raised beds and a garden storage shed made of charred wood (Yakisugi) add distinctive touches, giving the garden a modern yet sustainable design.
