Atlanta Botanical Garden's Amazing Living Sculptures 2014 HD 1080p

A New Kingdom of Plant Giants is a brand new outdoor exhibit at the Atlanta Botanical Garden that features 28 living sculptures, including a 25-foot-tall Earth Goddess made of 18,000 annuals (plants that complete their lifecycle within a year, from germination to death). Collectively referred to as mosaiculture—a form of horticulture art similar to topiary art with an emphasis on colorful foliage—the towering sculptures adorn the gardens, adding an element of fantasy while heightening the beauty of nature with botanic figures of various animals.

Each monumental piece was created in Canada by the non-profit group International Mosaiculture of Montreal. According to the Garden's statement: "Thousands of meticulously groomed annuals are planted into soil-and-sphagnum moss filled netting covering the steel forms -- hidden works of artisanship themselves -- to carpet the skeletons in colorful patterns. Complex irrigation systems beneath the surface of the sculptures allow the plants to grow -- and the creatures to flourish -- in Atlanta's summer heat. The larger than life sculptures are transported in climate-controlled trucks."
