The Joan Vinyoli Gardens are a passageway in an area of ​​high traffic density. They are arranged longitudinally on the artery of Passeig de Sant Joan Bosco, from Carrer de Francesc Carbonell to Passeig de Manuel Girona, and end at the confluence of the Gran Via de Carlos III and the Ronda del General Miter, which make them steep border. They were designed during the 1990s to cushion the profuse presence of road traffic with a wooded area. They are located on the roof of an underground car park, the entrances and exits of which are on either side of the streets perpendicular to the Paseo de San Juan Bosco. Biodiversity In the gardens, of just over half a hectare, we will find the same rhythmic cadence in the trees. Rows of tall, slender poplars (Populus alba) alternate with tipuanas (Tipuana tipo), which shine yellow flowers in spring. The rapid growth of the poplars and the fragility of their wood have more than fulfilled the function of quickly generating a green wall between the city and the inner promenade. Some poplars have been replaced by Chinese saplings (Koelreuteria paniculata), trees that compete in height with poplars, but have a slower growth process and are more resilient. We will also find a row of hawthorns (Celtis australis) near the children’s play area. Yellow bamboo reeds (Phyllostachys aurea) have been planted at the entrances to the car park, also in the form of rectilinear parterres. On 14 June 2014, as part of the Vinyoli events, two trees were planted in the central area: a carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) and a cork oak (Quercus suber), donated by the Town Councils. of Begur and Santa Coloma de Farners. Landscaping and design The solution adopted to combine the need for tall trees to create a shielding effect on adjacent streets led the authors of these gardens to choose to model a dune landscape with the generation of two artificial slopes, one more prominent and one second of gentler slopes, on the border with the Paseo de San Juan Bosco

Landscaped park in honor of the poet Joan Vinyoli opened in 1998.
