prevent hastiness

Imagine a project that does not need to be constructed, because – being a tree - it grows by itself.
Such a project only needs to be planted... The only materials to be transported are the seeds for planting. And the only energy spent is to prevent hastiness and impetuousness as such a project needs a lot of time and patience to grow

“ Is it possible for a blaze of flowers to explain what happened on the 14^th of May 1940, without being instantly a historic monument/The Schouwburgplein is an open space from where you can enjoy the skyline. It is the place to get together during the day. Flowers are hereby the finishing touch, the smile.”
