The Embassy of the Netherlands in Italy will be there , with a alone garden plan by the Dutch Niek Roozen Landscape , one of the most celebrated landscape architecture studio in the worldly concern . The radical they chose , in persistence with the Dutch Floriade Expo 2022 currently assume place in Almere , is the Green City for a sustainable future .

The narrative behind the green cityWith our garden we would like to tell a story . A story where humans , bees , butterflies , insects , amphibious vehicle , plants , flowers and water all live in harmony and contribute to a healthy urban surroundings with a fair mood and biodiversity . This idea instigate the innovation of the Dutch Garden at Euroflora , a living bouquet of colorful blossom , arranged in circles -each with a specific colour range and intermixture of flowers- around a pool where water flora , decorative grasses , perennials and bulb environ the water . allow us walk you through our story .
Green is good for all living creaturesMore planting and flowers in cities are paramount to improve the live condition of all being . Various subject show that a persuasion of green reduces stress and enhance convinced emotion : people become more keen to go for a walk , do sports alfresco and interact socially , all of which contribute to a healthier and happy life .
Green is honest for the environmentWell - contrive urban light-green spaces give to biodiversity , which in turn is all-important for a tidy surroundings : the diversity of plants and flowers secure the needed victuals for insects and bees . In particular , perennial and former florescence bulbs are vital in this process : while the perennial are still in the ground , bees use the ambrosia from the light bulb flush . Now more than ever , with a spectacular decrease of insect by about 75 % in the past decades , we must create a habitat where bees can pollinate and secure our solid food output and rejuvenate the balance wheel of the ecosystem as a whole . Specific water plants also contribute to increase biodiversity : by make clean the water , they make the correct home ground for amphibian .
Green is good for citiesOver the preceding year , we have witnessed extreme conditions weather in urban environments with increasing frequency . The higher return of drier periods switch with wetting agent periods is impacting on the land and on urban spirit . We have to take measurement to keep and store water and to allow it to infiltrate in a natural room and not to get throw away all at once . plant can derive to our delivery : using the right planting to quash evaporation and plan rainfall gardens to aid penetrate water are efficacious ways to accomplish these goals . An tally benefit of planting is the decrease of the heat island effect during strong days , creating a more well-fixed urban microclimate .
The living bouquetAll these themes come back in the Dutch Garden , the Living Bouquet that we pop the question to our Italian and outside friends to state the write up of the Green City in the beautiful path we imagined . Most of all , we hope that our garden inspires masses to plant more unripe flowers on their balconies , in their garden and in their neighborhood to serve to meliorate urban center aliveness .
