again, a garden

competition
winner — international garden festival 2026 — jardin de métis

Logs that lie quietly on the forest floor surrounding the gardens are collected, precisely cut to length, and stacked between aluminum plates to form a new enclosure. It is walled garden where the once-dormant logs make up the physical and figurative structure for visitors and for plant life.

In the center, along the floor, logs are hollowed out to create individual flower beds for native pollinator species. Among this constellation, other logs serve as seating — spaces of rest, repose, and reflection.

It is a garden again, where the textures and sensations of past, present, and future livesare woven together. It aims to remap and realign our sensitivities to the flows and forces of life in the garden and its surroundings — a complete system without fixed endings or beginnings. At the “end” of the pavilion’s life, the unfinished aluminum sheets are to be recycled, and the wood is to be reused as firewood, mulch, or simply returned to the forest from which it came — to decay, to nourish, and to begin again.
