Botanical Garden- Lyon


On my trip to France, I went to the botanical Gardens in Lyon, while there I really felt a sense of enclosure as the perimeter is surrounded by tall plants, which create a real sense of being rather trapped.

The play areas will be really colourful and hopefully give some more character to the site.
