The Garden of Communities is an artwork that celebrates the rich culture of the Veszprém-Balaton region. It’s a symbolic monument to the cooperation of the 116 municipalities participating in the VEB 2023 European Capital of Culture programme. This historical heritage is commemorated by the cladding of the planter boxes, which is made from almost 120-year-old reclaimed timber, the old larch planking from the renovated Drechsler Palace in Budapest. The native tree saplings of the region, planted in crates, together form a biodiverse vertical garden that grows and strengthens with the seasons.
