I think we've well established by now that I love a vertical garden! I also love the flat land kind, so you can imagine how enthralled I am about the
Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. The installation is set to become the "botanical capital of the world" which means that I'm going to have to put my tukas on a plane and go see it.
I'll blog the gardens at a later point, right now I want to oooh and ahhh over the Supertrees. These structures range from 9 to 16 stories tall and some of them have been outfitted with solar panels to power night lighting. The Supertrees also harvest rainwater to re-use on the plantings.
Bonus points for beautiful night lighting and projection. These remind me of the
Boston Treepods I blogged a few weeks ago.
