This book is an experimental project based on the idea of portable gardens, exploring the subject of the imaginary garden as a place where one can escape.

Its A6 size emphasises the idea that it can be carried inside a pocket and it can be used; rather than being limited to staying on a bookshelf. The book contains original images created by association of various elements that could suggest nature and gardening. They are spontaneous, accidental and experimental.
