GARDENS LAND, LOCATED IN THE AYAMAMA CREEK VALLEY, IS DESIGNED FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SEEK FOR A FRESH BREATH OF AIR IN THE CITY.
SINCE THE VALLEY WAS SERIOUSLY DAMAGED BECAUSE OF THE RECENT FLOOD IN THE AREA, THE FIRST ISSUE WAS TO MAKE THE AREA SECURE ENOUGH AGAINST ANOTHER FLOOD TREAT. CONSEQUENTLY, AYAMAMA CREEK IS WIDENED 10 M ON BOTH SIDES AND AN ADDITIONAL CANAL IS CONSTRUCTED, FORMING AN ISLAND (FOUR SEASONS ISLAND) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROJECT AREA.
GARDENS LAND GETS ITS NAME FROM THE FIDDERENT GARDEN TYPES YOU MAY FIND IN THE AREA. MAINLY, THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF GARDENS IN GARDENS LAND.
THE FIRST ONE IS THE COLOR GARDENS, IN WHICH THE PLANTS ARE SELECTED ACCORDING TO THEIR COLOURS. IN ORDER TO KEEP THE COLOURS PERSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE YEAR, THE PLANTS ARE CHOSEN ACCORDING TO THE COLOUR OF THEIR LEAVES, THEIR FLOWERS OR THEIR BARKS.
THE SECOND ONE IS THE FOUR SEASONS GARDEN, WHERE YOU MAY FIND MOST FASCINATING PLANTS OF EACH OF THE FOUR SEASONS. THE GARDENS ARE LOCATED ON THE ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROJECT AREA, GIVING THEIR NAME TO THE ISLAND.
THE LAST ONE IS THE SENSE GARDENS, PHONIC AND SCENT GARDENS. IN THE PHONIC GARDENS, PLANTS ARE CHOSEN FOR THEIR EFFICIENCY OF ATTRACTING THE BIRDS’ ATTENTION EITHER BY THE AID OF THEIR SCENT OR THEIR FRUITS. IN THE SCENT GARDENS, PLANTS WHICH ARE FAMOUS FOR THEIR CHARACTERISTIC SCENTS ARE USED.
THE MAIN ENTRANCES OF THE AREA ARE FROM THE COLOUR GARDENS. EACH COLOUR GARDEN HAS TWO UNIQUE ENTRANCES; ONE ON THE WEST AND THE OTHER ONE ON THE EAST.
IN THE FOUR SEASONS ISLAND, YOU MAY FIND FOUR RESTAURANTS, EACH LOCATED ON ONE SEASON GARDEN. IN THESE RESTAURANTS, YOU MAY GET A CHANCE TO TASTE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SEASONAL FOOD FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
OTHER THAN THE RESTAURANTS, GARDENS LAND ALSO HAS AN OPERA BUILDING, A CONCERT HALL, A MUSEUM, AN ARTS & EXIBITION CENTER WHERE YOU MAY ATTEND EITHER ATELIERS OR WORKSHOPS ON DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF ART, AN ART GALLERY, CHILDREN PLAYGROUNDS, MAINTANENCE BUILDINGS FOR GARDENS, ACTIVITY TERRACES WHICH MAY BE USED EITHER AS OPEN AIR CONCERT STAGES, FOR PICNICS OR FOR OPEN AIR SPORT ACTIVITIES AND PARKING AREAS WHICH CAN HOST UP TO 500 CARS.
SINCE THE PROJECT AREA IS QUITE BIG AND NO VEHICLES ARE ALLOWED IN THE AREA, A TRAM LINE IS SUGGESTED CONNECTING THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH ENDS OF THE PROJECT AREA. THERE ARE STOPS ON EACH GARDEN.
THE BRIDGES ARE OF TIMBER AND PEDESTRIAN ROADS ARE BASICLY COMPOSED OF TIMBER ROADS AND PEBBLE PATHS. THERE ARE TWO PEDESTRIAN AXES, LOCATED ON HEIGHTS OF 12M AND 16 M.
