  Beato Gaspar Bono, Valencia 46008.
A citrus fruit collection of some 50 different varieties and sculptures from Greek mythology.

The theme of the project had to be the mythological Hesperides and the golden apples that Hera planted in her garden, which were guarded by nymphs with poetically crepuscular names. The Garden of the Hesperides is the mythical symbol of fertility. The story has it that when Hercules took the golden apples, the Hesperides in their desperation turned into an elm, a willow and a poplar.
