Eden as described in the Holy Scriptures. The traditional design of the creative space enables visitors to immerse themselves in the world's first garden, an idyllic setting where the sun never sets and nature is both 'friendly' and 'sovereign'. <\/p>\n<p>The protagonist is a majestic, sweet orange tree (<em>Citrus sinensis<\/em>), which is almost four metres tall and laden with fruit. It was specially chosen to represent nature's bounty. Several other highly symbolic trees have also been added, including a pomegranate tree (<em>Punica granatum<\/em>), whose fruit is a universal symbol of abundance, and a fig tree (<em>Ficus carica<\/em>), which is a model of resilience. There are also vines bearing ripe bunches of grapes. <\/p>\n<p>Measuring approximately 100 square metres, the space is designed to resemble a valley opening up between gentle slopes covered with over 2,000 wild and edible alimurgic plants and aromatic herbs. Species such as Allium, Aloysia, Helichrysum, Malva, Melissa and Papaver carpet the ground, bearing witness to nature's daily gifts.<\/p>\n<p>The Edenic symbolism is completed by a watercourse measuring around eight metres in length and populated by papyrus (Cyperus alternifolius) and equisetum.<\/p>\n<p>Other natural elements make up the footpath: split beola stone.<\/p>\n<p>In an Eden conceived as a homely garden, the lawn is an essential feature. A soft, welcoming carpet of grass provides a uniform surface for walking and relaxation. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Status<\/strong>: Completed<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design team: <\/strong>M.
