A 140-acre floodplain of the 1000-acre island park will be planted as a Garden of Trees. The planting design will highlight individual tree species, keeping in mind that lay observers often "fail to see the trees from the forest". Didactic planting schemes will switch between diverse and homogeneous patterns. Allees, bosques, and groves form recognizable room types within an otherwise undifferentiated space. Slightly different from the conventional reforestation program that recreates a natural condition, the Two Rivers proposal will curate specimen trees in the tradition of a museological composition.
