This Californian garden may well resemble the set of the Teletubbies but it's actually a green science experiment comprising 1.7 million plants contained in 50,000 porous, biodegradable trays made from tree sap and coconut husks.
Scientists at the Academy experimented with 30 native species before deciding which ones were deserving of a place on the Academy's roof. The nine finalists were all chosen for their ability to self-propagate, which means this rooftop-garden is able to thrive with minimal water while resisting wind and salt spray from the ocean air.

My favourite is the French gardens. I have visited the countryside of France and seen the outstanding gardens in various areas. They still are so romantic to walk through on a warm summers night. Serene and beautiful. They have also preserved their history in the form of buildings and bridges..I have been to Hampton Court and although the Palace is gorgeous the gardens looked like nothing on a very cold, windy and rainy day. I challenged my daughter to go through the maze, even though it was peeeeing down. It was smaller than what I expected it to be.
