About Garbagialand

A landscape organically modified by the use of waste of any kind is known as a GARBAGIALAND.

Garbagialands are characterized by their utilization of "other" energies. 

In the guidelines for designing them whimsical eccentricities are the norm.

They differ from each other in style on the basis of where they are located or what specific visions the garbagialanders who created them had in their minds. 

Trash and the Worship of it is the common denominator.

Examples of Garbagialands around the world:

Fish Airplane Bergville South Africa

Birthplace of Monkey God  Singapore

Weinrebenpark  Switzerland

Windmill Park  Lucama NC

About Bronx Garbagialand 

 

In the summer of 2002, an ideal garbagia location was scouted and found on the Harlem river near a main NYC waste transfer station.

A rail track runs thru this land and each night a very long trash train carries NYC garbage exports to upstate New York and to neighboring states where poorer rural communities are willing to accept it for dumping!

Such a landscape triggered visions of creating a magical wonderland from waste 

 where people could have fun and also learn how to prevent waste and have access to the waterfront with additional recreational space and shore greening.

The visions call for sourcing power from wind sun & water and building with waste objects scraps & consumer trash

Creative work is in progress.  

Landscape design visions are being drawn and two events have been held on location. The fall solstice Succoth Ceremony and Artemisia Harvest Day.

Expect future announcements for a spring season river fest and calls for the involvement of visionary artists performers & designers.
