Poppy Park(ing) is a car park transformed into a flower meadow in the city of Sofia.
Viridis Landscape Architects converted a parking space in front of the Union of Architects in Sofia, Bulgaria, to a temporary “flower meadow” as part of Global Annual Initiative PARK(ing) day. Watch Poppy Park(ing) from Viridis Landscape Architects.
More than 300 paper poppies and a truckload of gravel were used for this innovative project.
The main idea behind Poppy Park(ing) was to attract donations for the red poppies to be used to buy trees for the South Park in Sofia. Viridis sold 67 of the paper flowers, and the funds will be invested in planting 5 trees in one of the biggest parks in Sofia.
