Roberto Burle Marx was one of the most important landscapers this country has ever had. His concern was to create a garden that did not copy the models that came from Europe, a behavior common to artists of his time, from 1920 to 1930. In gardens, Brazilian plants, for example, were practically not used.
Burle Marx defended what was characteristic of Brazil. He approached popular traditions and Brazilian nature. The landscaper said, however, that to create something it was not enough to borrow or copy aspects of popular culture. It was necessary to know them deeply. The search for this knowledge accompanied all his work. Your gardens are the realization of this quest.
In addition to being a garden artist, Burle Marx was also an educator. With landscaping, he combined the fight for the preservation of Brazilian natural resources. But beauty was its main resource to launch a cry in favor of nature. Its gardens were so beautiful that they also had an educational task. After all, Burle Marx found it more difficult for people to destroy the plants they had learned to love.
