These are the whimsical project of Fedor, a Dutch fellow about whom nobody seems to know much, has blossomed into a series of string gardens: planted hanging gardens that are a variation of kokedma, a japanese botanical style.
The illusive Fedor’s objective, is to have the plants “find their balance” as they grow and become heavier. “As the centrepoint of the plant keeps changing,” says the string gardener, “the plants grow in a way that makes them look more powerfull and like they are floating in mid air.” The string gardens are meant to be viewed at eye level. Some of the plants are covered with moss and placed in a bowl, others are woven into horizontal nets wich are coverd with moss, clover and grass. Some float in their environments alone, some are grouped with others creating a sort of horticultural symphony. They are undeniably gorgeous in their zen quality.
Aren’t they awesome!

These are simply amazing & beautiful. Got to hand it to the Dutch (this I know, lived in Utrecht a few yrs & Netherlands is my fav. spot in Europe)! The Dutch are very creative, smart & very environmentally aware. Oh & I note, aesthetics are never lost even in most dire of necessity, the water OH the water! Plus the men are really pretty, sorry couldnt resist:)
MUST have my son make String Gardens for our home (Penn is great at that, Im not). What a perfect way to incorporate nature & make it possible not to take up table top & floor space.
I adore & absolutely LOVE this idea, thank you so much for makeing me aware String Gardens existed!
