“Cornerstone Festival of Gardens” is a contemporary garden exhibition center. In MS-GDU’s garden (designed by invitation), a small tribute is paid to immigrants who work in the fields in the United States, providing an opportunity to propose a meaningful and symbolic project while also focusing public attention on the importance and conditions of immigrants within the California economy, particularly in agriculture and gardening.
In the MS-GDU garden, (designed by invitation), a small tribute is made to immigrants who work in the fields in the United States.
The garden is presented with different walls of distinct materials: a metal wall symbolizing the Mexico-USA border division, an intense red-colored wall representing Mexican heritage, and a stone wall representing the solidity and remembrance of immigrants These elements form a courtyard-garden with edible plants that opens to the neighboring vineyards. Photos and memories of the immigrants who built the garden were placed on the stone wall itself.
