‘Garden Gossip’ evolved in three phases, starting with a joint co-design workshop with a team of apprentices and production. During its temporary stay on Nordhaideplatz Garden Gossip was surrounded by a cloud of garden sounds and multi-lingual, subtle conversations. The project moved to an allotment garden community next to Munich’s Luitpoldpark, where it now stands as a place to socialise and improve access to the gardens.
