Un homenaje a Lady Day: Un jardín musical
Descubre el jardín que rinde tributo a la vida de Billie Holiday en “Un homenaje a Lady Day: Un jardín musical”, por Strootman Landschapsarchitecten.
En 2010 se diseñó un jardín poético para participar en el concurso abierto del festival de jardines en Chaumont-sur-Loire. El tema del festivalera Cuerpo y Alma, por lo que decidimos crear un tributo a la legendaria vocalista de jazz Billie Holiday (Lady Day) ya que “Body & Soul” es una de sus canciones más conocidas.
This garden is an evocation of Holiday’s brief yet intense life. Amidst a sea of white and pink flowers dominated by poppies, there are a lacquered black piano and a microphone.

«The jazz classic “Body & Soul” blends with the abundance of flowers emanating from the piano.»
This bittersweet spectacle can be contemplated from a comfortable jazz lounge that offers visitors a moment of shade in a garden full of fragile romanticism and addictive love for life.
The skin of the garden is dark black, but its heart is soft and pink. A small pavilion with lounge sofas spans the entire width of the garden at the entrance. Black curtains frame the garden and enclose its space. Inside, you find yourself in a different world: sitting on the stage, you enjoy the landscape as in a Japanese Zen garden.

The dominant pink poppies allude to Billie Holiday’s habit of drug use and are interspersed with others such as Forget-Me-Nots, Mallow, Cosmos, Echinacea, Anemone, Argemone, and Lavatera, creating an explosion of color throughout the season.
