A hanging garden suspended from the Grand River flood wall in Cambridge, Ontario.
Hanging Gardens Installation
This temporary installation endeavoured to soften the harsh concrete landscape of the Grand River floodwall in Cambridge, Ontario, modifying recycled construction materials for use as irrigated planters in a hanging garden system. The installation was featured in the artical “Tactical Urbanism” in the Landscape journal Ground 25: Micro in the spring of 2014.
