Design and Natural Elements

In the Praceta Garden, vegetation plays a central role in defining the space and its aesthetics. The location features a careful selection of tree and shrub species, organized in well-maintained flowerbeds, which provide shade and color throughout the seasons. The arrangement of natural elements aims to create pleasant pathways and resting areas that invite the enjoyment of the outdoors. Comfortable benches are strategically placed, inviting visitors to sit and absorb the garden's atmosphere. The regular maintenance of this green space highlights the care taken in preserving its beauty, reinforcing the importance of integrating nature into the urban fabric and consolidating it as an informal meeting point and a green lung for the local community.
