Glimpse into the future of urban gardens and what do you see? Probably something like the Bryant Park Urban Garden Room recently created in New York City.
The massive indoor garden comprises towering plant sculptures which include gigantic green archways and vines as tall as 25 feet. Wallace Roberts & Todd, as well as Margie Ruddick, are the designers behind the Bryant Park Urban Garden Room and what they refer to as “the first permanent installation of a living sculpture.”

- Growing demand for creating green spaces in urban environments, bringing nature closer to city dwellers.
Sectors Adopting This

- Innovations in architectural design to seamlessly integrate large-scale green installations into buildings.
- Landscaping
- Opportunities for landscape designers to merge art and nature by using living plants in creative ways.
- Urban Planning
