A New Kingdom of Plant Giants returns to the Atlanta Botanical Garden (by popular demand) with nine new living sculptures.
Imaginary Worlds features 28 giant topiary-like sculptures of mosaiculture – ( the centuries-old horticultural art of covering steel forms in living plants) – that were created by artisans of International Mosaiculture of Montreal.
New to this exhibition are four frolicking frogs, three gallivanting gorillas and a pair of hairy orangutans in addition to the sculptures that debuted in the summer 2013 exhibition, including the 25-foot-tall Earth Goddess, a pair of towering cobras, a grazing unicorn, a friendly ogre, a group of enchanting rabbits, and couple of whimsical butterflies! Runs through October 31st, 2014 and marks the first time a show this large has been presented in the United States. I have posted a few photos from my visit, but you must see it in person.
