π Borges Labyrinth in the island of #SanGiorgio, Venice since 2011.
More than 3000 plants placed to create the name of one of the most important and influential writers of the past century: Jorge Luis Borges from Argentina, whose most loved place in the world was of course Venice β€οΈ
The whole island itself is amazing, have you ever visited it?
