These floating orbs of earth in which the plants grow are fascinating to behold. String Garden is what Creaplant calls this product. The creation derives from a modern technique of Japanese plant design known as kokedama, or ‘moss ball’. Creaplant has taken the technique further and provided it with an irrigation system. Here, the hanging plants are displayed in a dark space bordered on two sides by vertical gardens. Round benches invite visitors to linger and breathe in the lush green ambience. Visitors may hear animal sounds from time to time as well. This, too, is part of the exhibition concept.
