A Vertical Garden from Recycled Junk
Apr 18th
Susan Cohan visited the Philadelphia Flower Show and caught a couple pictures of some interesting displays. The first design is of a floating garden using beakers, string and plants. That gives about the coolest effect of all time. I love how they’ve raised some beakers above the others to make a sort of table with a wave.

Handmade Gardens built a garden from garbage and plants. It looks surprisingly good! It’s a bit of an interesting take on what you can do with some creativity, junk and plants.

Living Sculptures
Mar 30th
These are fascinating sculptures done by Robert Cannon. He’s got a B.A. with distinction in Architecture, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. He calls the work Terraform Sculpture and uses concrete and mosses with most of his creations. He’s done a life size chess set out of concrete and moss as well as other amazing sculptures you can see on his site.
