Transforming Gardens into Mediterranean Forests: Landscaping and Resource Management

In a scenario marked by environmental challenges such as high temperatures, droughts, and intense rainfall, landscaping adapts to create sustainable and resilient gardens. This blog explores how expert Fernando Pozuelo addresses resource management in his projects, transforming gardens into adaptive Mediterranean forests.

The increasing prevalence of extreme weather events in Spain has led landscaping to focus on water management and sustainability. The philosophy of xeriscaping, originating in the United States during the droughts of the 1980s, has influenced the reduction of water consumption and the incorporation of ecological elements.

In response to intense rainfall, the adaptation of gardens to floods emerges as an essential trend. Promoting the rational use of water and using resistant species aims for maximum sustainability without compromising the aesthetics of the space. Examples like the banks of the Seine in Paris demonstrate the effectiveness of this practice.

Furthermore, a deep understanding of the environment is essential. Factors such as color, flora, relief, and fauna must be considered. Optimizing local natural resources ensures the sustainability of the garden. Fernando Pozuelo emphasizes the importance of the Spanish Mediterranean climate in creating adaptive gardens.

Here are some techniques for Adaptive Gardens:

1. 360º Environmental Study: Knowing the land is crucial. Recreating earth movements typical of the area allows adaptation to moments of drought or climatic turbulence.

2. Water Harvesting: Creating floodable gardens or implementing systems to collect rainwater are highlighted practices. Mulching in the terrain prevents water evaporation, contributing to sustainability.

3. Optimization of Local Resources: The use of native and resistant species, such as succulents, is essential for adaptability to environmental changes.

In this context of environmental challenges, landscaping embraces sustainability in the design of outdoor spaces. Fernando Pozuelo highlights the need to create sustainable gardens that not only contribute beauty to the world but also become adaptable natural landscapes, fulfilling the dream of transforming visions into reality.
