Mobile Landscaping Intervention Unit
Garden Festival at Jardins de Métis / Reford Gardens,
Grand-Métis, 2006
- Garden, Installation
The Mobile Landscaping Intervention Unit was an installation project consisting of a recycled container located on a symbolic degraded site at the International Garden Festival at Jardins de Métis / Reford Gardens. The site had all the scars of former cargo transport activity: old railroads, compacted filler soil, chain-link fences as well as concrete and metal rubble.
This project aimed to demonstrate, in a humoristic way, that it is possible to bring a degraded site back to life.
Different rehabilitation techniques, such as composting, phytoremediation, green fertilizer planting and even poultry manure, were shown throughout the project which was phased over a few years.
The unit included the team’s transport: beds, work tables, tools, storage and seeds were always present, which allowed the team to intervene in all circumstances and to create new garden full of hope.
