(Hanging Glass Gardens)

Recycled jars, shattered glass beer bottles, cinnamon sticks and plant material

These hanging glass gardens take their inspiration from their historic namesake, using recycled jars and shattered glass beer bottles to recreate one of the 7 wonders of the world. Derived from the Greek word κρεμαστός, which has a broader meaning than the modern English word ‘hanging’ and refers to plants being planted on a raised structure. Revered as a remarkable feat of engineering. It is unclear whether the Hanging Gardens were an actual construction or a poetic creation. It is safe to say that these hanging gardens definitely are not a figment of your imagination but a sight to behold.
