Huerto y jardín de las Palabras y los Cerezos
The orchard and garden of words and cherry treesis located in the Delibes Garden, on the North Wall. It is a beautiful spot, open to the public, where words and trees share the limelight. This space is home to a plantation of cherry trees and words in Japanese characters engraved in stone, which define and symbolise the pillars of unity between all the peoples of the earth, between human beings and nature, and between our generation and those that will follow us eternally. This garden constitutes a new fusion between time and space, between West and East, principles and ideas chosen jointly by the Japanese calligrapher Tomoko Miyamoto and the staff of the Environment Department of Segovia City Council. All of them are written in Spanish and in the pictorial language of Japanese kanji, a type of oriental writing that invites reflection.
If you are interested in this garden, you can purchase a publication entitled ‘Las palabras y los cerezos’ (Words and Cherry Trees) at the municipal tourism office.
