Dubaï frappe à nouveau avec la création de ce “Jardin Miracle”: 72.000 mètres carrés de jardin, présentant 45 millions de fleurs le long de 4 kilomètres d’allées. Comment ce jardin peut-il supporter la chaleur? Un arrosage constant est à coup sûr nécessaire. Il sera bien sûr fermé pendant l’été (de Juin à Septembre). Incroyable.

Dubaï strikes again with the creation of this “Miracle Garden”: 72.000 square meters of garden, presenting 45 million flowers along 4 kilometers of walkways. How does this garden stand the heat ? with constant watering for sure. It will nonetheless be closed during summer (from June to September). Amazing.

Ce projet est tellement démesuré que l’on ne sait par quel bout l’expliquer : 18 arbres géants, mesurant entre 25 et 50 mètres; conçus en jardins verticaux abritant des espèces rares et grimpantes; à la pointe de la technologie, puisqu’ils produisent leur propre énergie (avec des capteurs solaires), leur permettant de diffuser de l’énergie et de s’illuminer la nuit; ils produisent leur propre irrigation, en transformant l’humidité en eau et en la diffusant aux plantes incluses dans leur tronc; ils produisent leur propre ventilation et participent à la climatisation des serres attenantes. Des merveilles de conception, de technologie, de respect de l’environnement. Et des beautés tout court, que vous pouvez approcher de tout près grâce aux chemins suspendus. Quand Singapour décide de s’investir dans la protection de l’environnement, leurs réalisations sont à la hauteur de l’enjeu.

 

This project is so vast that no one knows where to start the explanations: 18 giant trees, measuring between 25 and 50 meters;  vertical gardens with rare species and vines; at the cutting edge of technology, since they produce their own energy (solar panels), allowing them to radiate energy to the plants and light up at night; they produce their own irrigation, turning moisture into water for the plants included in their trunk; they produce their own air conditioning and participate in the aire control of the greenhouses nearby. Marvels of design, technology, respect for the environment. And beauties that you can closely approach thanks to suspended paths . When Singapore chooses to invest in the protection of the environment, their achievements are up to the challenge.
