we did an art intervention on the gardens to simulate this act.


Explanation:
Em arte, usa-se muito a expressão "to do (or perform) an art intervention". Recomendo acrescentar a palavra "art", para evitar ambiguidade com o conceito de "intervention" usado em psicologia, que coloquei nas referências.
