This otherworldly section of the show garden is dedicated to the fascinating world of fungi, featuring a living display of mushroom species such as oyster, shiitake, lion’s mane, and enoki.

As nature’s recyclers, fungi play a vital role in breaking down organic matter, enriching soil, and forming symbiotic relationships with plants. Some species even show promise in environmental remediation and sustainable food production.

Each species is cultivated in carefully designed microclimates, and we are monitoring the relative humidity, temperature and pressure of their environment within our garden pavilion.

Bees, butterflies, hoverflies, and other pollinators play a crucial role in food production and biodiversity, transferring pollen from plant to plant and helping over 75% of flowering species reproduce. Without them, many of the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we rely on would simply disappear.

We've embedded discreet cameras on the living roof of our pavillion, paired with advanced machine learning algorithms trained to recognize and identify pollinator species in real-time. As these tiny visitors come and go, our system logs their activity, building a detailed picture of pollinator health and diversity.

This blend of ecology and technology allows us to better understand the needs of pollinators and how we can design spaces that truly support them.
