The gardens are a green island that surrounds the Can Framis Museum and the Vila Casas Foundation. They were designed as a recreation of a random grove filled with poplars, poplars and holm oaks. A small and crowded grove, which wakes up every spring covering the tree tops with green and flowers on the surface. Like an unforeseen poem, the gardens give pedestrians a chromatic recital, a floral poem of blues, yellows, reds, purples and lilacs. A garden, like poetry, fragile and fleeting, of which we can catch the best verse during the brief sigh that goes between April and May.


History
Can Framis was an important textile manufacturing center in Poblenou, dedicated to the manufacture of wool. The gardens were designed during the intervention to rehabilitate the old spinning mill to house the museum of the Vila Casas Foundation, which was commissioned by the architects Jordi Badia, Jordi Framis and EMF (Estudi Martí Franch , landscaping). The design of the garden, the work of the BAAS Arquitectura studio, by Jordi Badia and Jordi Framis, arose simultaneously with the intervention to rehabilitate the buildings of the old Can Framis factory. His project for landscaping the museum's surroundings was a finalist in the sixth edition of the Rosa Barba European Landscape Prize and also in the "Public Space European Space" competition, both of which were held in 2010.

Biodiversity
This short and delimited forest is made up of dozens of poplars (Populus alba), poplars (Populus nigra) and holm oaks (Quercus ilex). Imitating the riparian forest, they are grouped into two- or three-foot stands, which grow randomly and in no apparent order, like a poem of free verse and rhyme. Premeditated tree disguise camouflages the museum building. Visitors are immersed in the garden by different access ramps. A small natural breakwater, against which the green waves of ivy (Hedera helix) break, line the entire surface. The wavy arrangement of the parterres generates different levels and accentuates the feeling of undulating green sheet. Touching the ivy, we find bulbous plants; the one with the most presence is the Christmas lily (Narcissus jonquilla tazetta). We will also find the blue bells of the forest hyacinths (Hyacintus hispànica), the sea heather (Frankenia laevis), the cat's tail (Bulbine frutescens), the flower of hell (Lycoris radiata) or the Osmanthus bicolor. There are also perennial and rhizomatic plants, such as Arum italicum, which accumulates flowers in orange and red droplets and emits heat when flowering. Finally, we find the Stembergia lutea, various varieties of irises (Iris spurea var maritima, Iris formosana and Iris umbicularis) and the flowers of love (Agapanthus peter pan).


Landscaping and design
The Jardins de Miquel Martí i Pol is a small green mass, slightly enclosed, which envelops and hides the Can Framis Museum building. The space has a vocation of friendly forest that invites you to walk. During the months of April, May and before June, visitors find the ivy carpet, 

Art and architecture
The Can Framis Museum building is arranged in an architectural ensemble of three naves, two of which have been recovered from the old textile factory and a third nave with a new floor plan that connects them. The ... More information in The Atlas of Biodiversity
