The desire to enrich the City of Geneva’s cultural and botanical patrimony by giving it a ‘’Persian Garden’’ was born three years ago. Particularly suited to Geneva’s international role and reputation, the Persian Garden symbolises peace and harmony. The conception and planning of this public Garden has had to take into account the precise aesthetics of traditional Persian Gardens. Accordingly, the Persian Garden of Geneva Association has been advised by specialists in the fields of architecture, landscaping and horticulture from around the world.
UNESCO has described this Persian Garden Project as ’’a symbol of peace and love, overcoming political and cultural barriers’’. The City of Geneva has now granted the Association appropriate land within the Parc des Franchises and will maintain the Garden in perpetuity. The Association’s efforts are now concentrated on gathering the necessary funds for construction and planting, estimated at CHF 1,300,000 ($1,200,000), or about CHF 680 ($625) per square meter. Because the Association has been recognised as being of public interest, all donations are tax deductible in Switzerland.
The Association needs your support. Will you sow some seeds with us? For the Persian Garden of Geneva Association
