The name of the garden is a homage to Catalan poet Joan Brossa. He was one of the founders of both the group and the publication known as Dau-al-Set (1948) and one of the leading early proponents of visual poetry in Catalan literature. Although he was in the vanguard of the post-war poets. He also wrote hundreds of formally perfect sonnets, saphic odes and sestinas as well as thousands of free and direct poems. His creative work embraced every aspect of the arts: cinema, theatre, music, cabaret, the para-theatrical arts, magic and the circus.
Halfway between a forest park and a city garden, the Gardens of Joan Brossa have characteristics of both, especially those typical of a forest. The spontaneous nature appearance of the gardens is more pronounced at the bottom, where these features are intensified due to the dense vegetation. A raised, wood footbridge enters the forest, letting you gaze down upon it as if you were on a balcony.
