MICRO-MOUNTAINS: Sitting With a Garden

Sit with a garden. Micro-Mountains brings the intimacy of tending plants into a shared place to pause, meet and spend time.

A low timber topography combines seating with a grid of small planting pots. People can contribute a plant and return to care for it, allowing the landscape to change with the seasons and the lives around it. CNC-cut plywood ribs and plates interlock without additional glue or metal hardware.

Conceived as a two-by-two-metre installation, the design offers a personal encounter with nature within a larger setting. It invites conversation about gardens for hospitality, cultural spaces and communities, where participation becomes part of the experience.
