In the archipelago of the Canaries, there is a strange-looking island called Lanzarote. 800 km2 of harsh landscapes, dotted with volcanoes. On this arid patch of land, it is hard to imagine a garden, and yet.

In this apocalyptic setting, an astonishing black, green and red garden lies hidden. More than a garden, it is a collection, an ode to one of the hardier botanical species, the only one capable of surviving in these arid conditions.

Welcome to the Cactus Garden.
