Texte par l’ASLA:
In San Francisco springs and streams were once common and visible, emerging from the hills and ultimately draining to the Bay. Today most are routed through pipes, sewers and wastewater treatment plants. In contrast, Urban Spring challenges the widespread convention of suppressing urban water systems in favor of the wide array of common justifications—safety, pests, cost, maintenance, etc. While it is a small site, and relatively small amount of water, this project demonstrates the life enabling possibilities of combining inventive design solutions with urban waters. Revealing the spring and employing it’s flows in the garden allowed for the creation of diverse microclimates and planting types across the garden, eliminating reliance on potable water for irrigation and providing sustenance for an array of urban wildlife.

Un jardin sans complexe urbain au cœur du centre-ville de Toronto, avec beaucoup de surprises: une passerelle en acier qui mène à un pont lointain, un sanctuaire d’oiseaux, et sa propre rivière moderne (un pouce de profondeur).
