The Garden of Peace works when it becomes part of daily territorial life: it is not a campaign, but a permanent sign in the landscape. This is what makes urban and metropolitan contexts credible as well: the visit does not “depend” on an event.

• Usable public space: walkable, readable, photographable.
• Continuity: the message matures through seasons and care.
• Civic value: a visible gesture, not an abstract declaration.

The standard is the project’s strength: the place changes, readability does not. In this way, a city can host a Garden coherently, without losing local identity, while entering a recognizable network.

• Stable format: useful for institutional communication and education.
• Territories at the center: landscapes and adaptations, not borders.
• A stronger network: each new node strengthens the others.

Two levels are enough: an overview key at the entrance and essential information in front of the trees. It is the most suitable solution for highly frequented public spaces, where understanding must be immediate and non‑invasive.

• First “what it is”, then “how to read it”: a natural order for visitors.
• Compatible with tourism, schools, institutional visits.
• Reduces ambiguity: a clear structure that stays stable over time.

A well‑designed urban garden does not compete with the city: it accompanies it. The Zaragoza example reinforces the idea that an urban context can sustain an international message, as long as it remains readable and cared for.

• Accessibility: short visits, frequent returns, high usability.
• A “calm” message: visible coexistence, not rhetoric.
• Educational value: soil, water, care, shared responsibility.

The Toronto case shows that a metropolitan context can host a Garden of Peace while maintaining sobriety and readability. The key is not to “put on a show”, but to guarantee quality, care, and an orderly on‑site narrative.

• Credibility: a symbol that holds even at large scale.
• Simple communication: a few messages, well positioned.
• Network value: a metropolis can become a connector node among territories.

The criterion is simple: the event must help people understand the model (territories, varieties, care), not replace it. In this way, the garden remains visitable and meaningful even “when no one is there.”

• Measured rhythms: clear appointments, not an inflation of ceremonies.
• Centrality of the place: the garden remains the protagonist.
• Documentation: photos, panel, and traceability of actions over time.

An administration can activate paths with schools and the community without reinventing everything each time: a minimal format and constant care are enough. The garden becomes a place where you learn by doing: observation, respect, responsibility.

• Repeatable workshops: seasons, soil, water, biodiversity.
• Balanced involvement: clear roles, light but continuous tasks.
• Public readability: visitors understand even without a guide.

When a municipality joins the network, its garden becomes a “node” of a larger story. Examples such as Zaragoza and Toronto show two different scales, but the same principle: model coherence and care over time.

• Cultural and educational exchanges: compatible formats, not improvised.
• Recognizability: each garden speaks the same design language.
• A sober diplomatic value: territories as the key, not flags.

Maintenance is part of the narrative: it shows a commitment that does not end with the inauguration. It is the difference between a “façade” symbol and a symbol that holds.

• Seasonality as value: observation, return, memory.
• Route order: decorum, safety, readability.
• Responsibility: roles and checks to guarantee continuity.

Its strength is repeatability: returning to the same place in different seasons makes you truly understand what long time, responsibility, and sustainability mean. The lesson comes from what you see, not from an abstract speech.

• Concrete learning: observe, measure, narrate.
• Adaptable paths: primary, secondary, mixed groups.
• Continuity: a place that “remains” enables real growth.

The point is not to “study a list”, but to understand that the olive tree crosses different territories and adapts without losing identity. It is a sober and inclusive way to talk about differences and coexistence.

• Geography + culture: from landscape to farming practices.
• Territories before borders: a language suitable for school and families.
• Guided curiosity: observation and connections, not rote learning.

Sustainability is understood when it becomes practice: you observe soil, leaves, water management, and you realize that every choice has consequences. The garden is a “tangible” context, not a concept.

• Observation: simple indicators (season, water stress, soil).
• Interconnection: different territories, the same global issues.
• Care as a competence: learning by doing responsibly.

A serious educational path does not separate environment and relationship: it teaches that caring for a place and respecting living beings are the same discipline. On a farm this message is even clearer, because the relationship with animals is part of everyday life.

• Concrete empathy: notice needs, fragility, responsibility.
• Clear rules: respectful behavior with animals and spaces.
• “Calm” education: no rhetoric, only coherent practices.

In educational contexts, clarity is everything: a few well‑designed elements make the visit autonomous and repeatable. The teacher chooses the depth level, without making the place “heavy.”

• Two levels: entrance + trees, for a natural reading.
• Suitable for classes: simple time management.
• Coherence: the standard makes multiple gardens comparable.

You do not need to “do big things”: it is enough to do them well and do them again. The garden becomes a laboratory of responsibility: the place responds to actions, and this educates more than a thousand words.

• Repeatable micro‑activities: short, safe, meaningful.
• Method: observe → act → verify over time.
• Connection: farming practice + respect for the territory.

The Trani reference (Schinoia Educational Farm) clearly shows the logic: not an “event”, but a program. A place where schools and families can return and find a readable path, increasingly rich over time.

• Coherent context: environmental and agricultural education is already in the place’s DNA.
• Repeatability: visits, workshops, shared care throughout the year.
• Credibility: real experience replaces abstract theory.

Support works when it stays light and serious: not entertainment for its own sake, but tools that make the place more readable and learning more ordered.

• Before the visit: simple goals and observations to make.
• After the visit: restore order and turn impressions into understanding.
• Inclusivity: materials suitable for different ages and mixed groups.

The garden truly works when it is not “only the school’s”: families, associations, and local realities can contribute with small tasks and constant presence. This creates memory and belonging.

• Continuity: a place to return to with simple roles and responsibilities.
• Inclusion: experiences accessible even outside the school calendar.
• Quality: shared care makes the message credible.

Stewarding a real place is a concrete gesture of peace: it means taking care of something that remains and belongs to everyone. Small, stable commitments are worth more than big declarations.

• Care as practice: cleanliness, order, respect for the route.
• Continuity: meaning grows year after year.
• Belonging: the place becomes a reference point for the territory.

Paciano represents the project’s symbolic source; Cogollos shows how a small center can make an international message readable without losing its history. The “human” scale helps continuity.

• Memory: a place that grows with the community.
• Care: easier maintenance, clearer responsibility.
• Welcome: an authentic experience for visitors and schools.

You do not need heavy activities: a minimal and clear calendar is enough to give order and continuity. Quality is visible in the details: cleanliness, readability, respect for the trees and the route.

• Light calendar: 4–6 well‑defined appointments per year.
• Clear roles: avoid everything depending on one person.
• Activity trace: documented care over time.

The olive tree’s time helps: meaning grows in the landscape and does not depend on the event of the moment. Small gestures and measured appointments can become a common trace, understandable even to first‑time visitors.

• Continuity: annual appointments, essential and coherent.
• Centrality of the place: the garden remains the protagonist.
• Inclusivity: moments suitable for different communities and generations.

A garden does not “solve” everything, but it builds a context where care becomes a common language. It is a space that invites slowing down, observing, listening: a civic training in coexistence.

• Empathy: a competence built in real life.
• Responsibility: attention to people, places, living beings.
• Respect: simple rules that protect everyone.

A community that cares for a place also learns to steward the living: dogs, farm animals, local fauna. Education passes through concrete behaviors: respect for spaces, no abandonment, attention to needs and fragility.

• Practical education: coherent and measurable behaviors.
• Coexistence: the territory as a shared home, not exclusive property.
• Ethical credibility: values made visible in everyday life.

The rule is simple: every activity must increase understanding (territories, varieties, care) and leave the place more orderly than it found it. This keeps the project “serious” and prevents it from being consumed as spectacle.

• Short formats: workshops, guided visits, measured ceremonies.
• Respect for the landscape: sobriety and compatibility with the place.
• Continuity: appointments that build memory.

The network protects meaning: each garden is a stage of a broader, recognizable path. For a village or association it means not being isolated: the local place enters into dialogue with other landscapes without losing identity.

• Exchanges: visits and cultural twinning, with compatible formats.
• Continuity: programs that do not depend on a single event.
• Recognizability: a common model makes dialogue stronger.

When panels, signs, and maintenance are kept in good condition, the project remains readable and credible. Support protects this continuity: it is what turns an idea into a stable reality.

• Quality: route order and essential informational materials.
• Education: repeatable activities for schools and communities.
• Continuity: a place that remains, not a brief parenthesis.

The project works when the host place remains central. Experiences such as the Valley of the Temples and the Alhambra show that integration can be strong and respectful at the same time, if the rule is “accompany, not compete”.

• Harmony with the context: discreet but meaningful presence.
• Fluid visit: the garden integrates into the site’s route.
• Coherence: a permanent sign, readable and non‑invasive.

An iconic site does not “need” the project, and that is the point: if the garden works there, it means it can integrate. Quality (layout, signage, maintenance) is what makes the message serious and not decorative.

• High standard: materials and care must hold over time.
• Readability: clear route, essential communication.
• Respect: the site remains the protagonist; the garden adds meaning.

A context like the Alhambra requires maximum measure: the message must cross sensitivities without creating oppositions. Referring to territories, rather than borders, makes the story accessible and non‑divisive.

• Universality: landscapes as a common language.
• Measure: no rhetoric, only experience and readability.
• Cultural value: coexistence made visible in the real world.

When signage is essential and well placed, visitors grasp the “core of the model” even without a guide. This avoids weighing down the visit: the place remains the protagonist, the project offers a stable key to reading.

• Immediate understanding: first the whole, then details.
• Compatibility: groups, schools, individual visitors.
• Quality: clarity as a form of respect for the public.

In emblematic places, neutrality is fundamental: the garden shows coexistence without “explaining” politics. Territories are visible and shareable: they invite understanding differences and connections without creating fronts.

• Inclusion: a language understandable to different audiences.
• Sobriety: coexistence is seen, not proclaimed.
• Coherence: a stable narrative over time, not tied to the moment.

The garden invites people to return and see what grows: memory stratifies in the landscape. In an emblematic site this is a strong value: it adds a layer of experience that matures with the seasons.

• Stable enhancement: a reason to return.
• Loyalty: the public recognizes a place that changes over time.
• Seriousness: care makes the symbol credible.

The visit gains depth without becoming heavy: the place stays central and learning is natural. A minimum order (panel, signs, route) and a sober narrative are enough.

• Suitable for groups: short or long routes, modular.
• Readability: a few key concepts, well positioned.
• Connection: beauty of the place + responsibility toward the living.

Guidelines and checks prevent the symbol from being distorted: quality remains stable and documentable. In delicate contexts, coherence also protects the place: the garden must integrate and remain sober over time.

• Responsible use: protecting the reputation of both.
• Verifiable quality: coherent layout, signage, maintenance.
• Stability: a model that “holds” and does not wear out.

The network makes the message stronger without losing measure: each place remains itself, but dialogues with other landscapes. Visitors understand that the project is not isolated, but part of a constellation of real places.

• Cultural exchanges: compatible routes between different contexts.
• Recognizability: standard + local identity, together.
• Credibility: the project shows continuity and coherence across multiple places.

For universities and foundations, stability matters: a defined format allows evaluation of educational effectiveness, communicative clarity, and maintenance quality. The standard also protects the partner’s credibility.

• Comparability: same framework, different contexts.
• Measurability: evidence on the ground, not only intentions.
• Governance: clearer responsibilities, fewer ambiguities.

The COI (Madrid) reference shows how the project can dialogue with technical and institutional spheres. It is an example of how scientific and cultural dimensions can coexist in a way that is readable for the public.

• Credibility: institutional framework and rigorous language.
• Outreach: complex content made understandable on site.
• Network: a bridge between research, territories, and citizenship.

A “public” project must also hold technically: reliable and documentable plant material, responsible phytosanitary management, and varietal coherence. This is particularly relevant for academic and philanthropic partners.

• Risk reduction: controlled plant health and provenance.
• Transparency: documentable sourcing and practices.
• Long‑term viability: agronomy and care as part of meaning.

The CIHEAM MAI Chania reference strengthens the project’s academic profile: a place where the educational and scientific dimension can be structured over time, with routes, observations, and rigorous outreach.

• Training: repeatable and progressive programs.
• Applied research: long‑term observation and documentation.
• Intercultural dialogue: landscapes as a shared language.

The Camerino reference points to a useful direction for cultural foundations: not “decoration”, but a place that educates through the olive tree’s long time and an essential narrative, compatible with spaces of culture and training.

• Interdisciplinarity: culture + environment + citizenship.
• Sober integration: the host place remains central.
• Education through experience: a real place that can be returned to.

The entrance panel and the signs in front of the trees make the heart of the model readable without turning the place into an endless lesson. This makes it possible to sustain a “serious” project that is also understandable.

• Clarity: on‑site synthesis, optional deepening.
• Accessibility: multiple audiences, different depths.
• Continuous improvement: clear elements are easier to refine over time.

For foundations and universities it is important to measure without complicating: not abstract KPIs, but concrete and verifiable evidence. The garden is a natural “laboratory” because it is permanent and repeatable.

• Light indicators: activity calendar, signage quality, route care.
• Engagement: participation over time, not just at launch.
• Evidence: documentation that can be shared and improved.

Rules are not an obstacle: they are the condition for a symbol to remain simple and permanent, avoiding instrumentalization. Integrity protection makes the project more compatible with academic and philanthropic responsibilities.

• Quality standards: what you see must “hold”.
• Checks: continuous, proportionate, documentable.
• Reputational protection: preventing dilution or misuse.

For universities and foundations, the network is a multiplier: it enables common programs, cultural exchanges, and training, while keeping a recognizable framework across different places (from COI’s technical context to CIHEAM’s training context, up to cultural hubs like Camerino).

• Continuity: multi‑year programs, not one‑off initiatives.
• Synergy: research, education, outreach, and territory connection.
• Scalability: a stable model that can expand without losing meaning.

Peace becomes tangible because it requires care and attention: it is experience, not a slogan. A cared‑for place communicates even when no one speaks: it is enough to walk and observe.

• Accessible to everyone: autonomous visit, no “preparation” needed.
• Sobriety: the beauty of the place remains central.
• Continuity: you can return and recognize it over time.

The visit stays light: those who want to go deeper can, but no one is forced to “study” to understand. Route order (first the whole, then details) helps families and visitors orient themselves.

• Autonomous visit: immediate understanding of meaning.
• Essential information: a few, well chosen elements.
• Order: a clear route helps everyone.

The message is universal: coexistence does not erase identities and histories, but requires respect and care. Seeing the trees together makes the idea immediate, without the need for rhetoric.

• A concrete metaphor: you see it, you don’t “preach” it.
• Understandable for all ages.
• Memory: a permanent sign in the land.

It is a living map: it suggests connections between climate, soil, and the culture of the landscape. Visitors sense that territories are different, but they dialogue—and that dialogue is the heart of the project.

• Territories as a universal language: landscapes before borders.
• Connections: climate, farming, culture, adaptation.
• A calm message: discovery through observation.

No spectacle is needed: just a place that remains and takes itself seriously. Returning, seeing again, recognizing: the olive tree’s time deepens the message because it matures with the landscape.

• Memory: a place that grows over time.
• An experience that matures: each season adds meaning.
• A stable reference point: a place you can return to.

The Tangier reference (Sanctuary of Wildlife) reinforces this idea: education and compassion are not separate from sustainability. A place that teaches care for the territory can also educate to respect animals and the most vulnerable beings.

• Concrete compassion: attention to needs and fragility.
• Coherence: care for the place and care for living beings go together.
• Education: behaviors that are simple, visible, and repeatable.

Credibility comes from the fact that the project can be visited: villages, cities, emblematic sites. This concreteness protects against the risk of “rhetoric”: anyone can see, walk through, understand, and return.

• Verifiability: visitable places, not abstract narratives.
• Diversity of contexts: the same model, different landscapes.
• Continuity: a network that grows through real places.

Support helps keep what you see clear: route order, signage, care interventions. When a permanent place is cared for, the message stays readable for everyone, not only for those who already know it.

• Maintenance: the place stays beautiful and visitable.
• Clarity: panels and signs kept in good condition.
• Continuity: small supports that keep a big meaning alive.

The garden makes a simple idea visible: coexistence means responsibility. Everyday choices (care for the place, respect for animals, attention to resources) are what turn a symbol into practice.

• Responsibility: respect made visible in real gestures.
• Coexistence: differences that remain, but are held together.
• Consistency: everyday life is where peace becomes real.
