Significance of gardens
The concept of gardens has been significant across cultures for millennia. Gardens were born from a desire to create a world which would be more beautiful and fertile than the one we live in.
They’re a space where natural and human worlds meet, expressing people’s perception of nature; a place of growing, hedonism, reality, meditation, a play of senses and experiences, representation, aestheticism, and learning; of sophistication, spontaneity, and the unexpected; of utility and decoration; and refreshment - always refreshment.
And although gardens are the embodiment of exclusive spaces, they can’t be fenced off entirely and remain a part of the world around them.
GIYOU garden of fresh and jewel flowers
The GIYOU silver and golden garden was inspired by a garden surrounding a charming historic homestead in Bohemia, and, just like any other garden, born from a desire to create a beautiful, enriching space.
We wanted to allow people to taste the beauty of our private garden, in a unique form, far behind its walls; to create a charming space where a mere walk would be an unforgettable experience; to allow you to experience the joy and use provided by the masterful flowers we grow.
To us, cultivating a garden means respecting what we grow and treating it with care.
