This proposal for a temporary urban meditation garden describes an experience of nature that shifts over time. Choreographed movement through the elements of the installation – a birch entry grove, gathering spaces overflowing with native species – draws the visitor in and creates a world apart from the busy street. Seasonal, weekly, and daily patterns of growth unfold in the space, rewarding close observation and supporting meditation practices.
