| Location: | Ashes in Focus Exhibition, Tiel |

Circular Garden is a design for an urn garden made up of burial mounds in which ash remains are stored. The ash is placed in an urn or can be mixed with the earth that forms the mound. The design of the garden is based on a circle, a shape that has no beginning and no end. All the burial mounds in the Circular Garden are round. Besides smaller, individual burial mounds, there are a number of larger ‘family mounds’, where the ashes of several people can be placed.
The planting in the Circular Garden is based on the urn gardens and burial mounds found in prehistory, and features Calluna vulgaris (heather) and grasses. Trees will be planted around the garden. The model is to scale, based on an area of 25 x 25 metres. Read more: www.asinbeeld.nl
