ON THE GREEN MIRROR - JARDIN D'ACCLIMATATION

It all starts by looking at our surroundings – nature and all the shapes, colours and textures found there. This workshop, “La Fabrique de la Nature” or “Nature’s Factory,” is designed and led by designer Flora Koel, who encourages participants to explore, craft, experiment, handle and test the natural materials found in the Jardin d’Acclimatation. With a few simple tools and easy assembly techniques, children turn things found in nature into their crown, a tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat.
