Gardening by Subtraction

Pedro challenges traditional gardening norms in Mexico City by advocating for landscape archaeology, where the focus is on uncovering the natural lava rock rather than planting ornamental gardens. He highlights the emotional dependency on European styles, which clash with the local environment. A notable example is Cesar's restored home, showcasing the beauty of a lava rock garden, reminding us that embracing local landscapes can lead to stunning, sustainable designs.
