There may come a time very shortly when the Plot from magneticNorth is less of a curiosity and more of a staple off all big cities. MagneticNorth (a digital ad agency) created this [rentable garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attic-above-garden) for Manchester, U.K.'s, Dig the City festival which celebrates [urban green thumbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greenpublic). In big cities nature can be hard to find, and nature surrounded by privacy, peace and quiet more or less doesn't exist. Plot remedies that problem by letting you rent out a garden for yourself or guests for a few hours.

The garden sits atop the city's Victoria Barton Arcade building and features WiFi, should you like your privacy with a side of social media. The Plot from magneticNorth can be rented out during the festival, which runs until August 10th.
