My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Light gardens in public places

21 years ago

I just had brunch at Souen, a macrobiotic/vegetarian restaurant near Union Square here in New York, and was charmed by an odd collection of fluorescent, incandescent, and floodlight bulbs posed near the ceiling at odd angles to keep an assortment of indoor plants alive. The effect was very macro-scruffy-organic, but kind of nice.

Have you seen any gardens in public places that make use of artificial grow lights?
