A new innovative art exhibit in Manhattan is giving people a glimpse of nature, like you've never seen before!
The experience is called Bloomtanica, an exhibit that immerses people in the surreal world of a Korean garden, in New York City. There is an immediate sense of serenity combined with the scent of flowers as you come down the stairs. There are cascading columns of hydrangeas next to endless beautiful buds.
People from all over the world are lining up in the Meatpacking District to see the oasis below Genesis House.World-renowned floral artist Jeff Leatham worked with a team to create the surreal garden, where physical and nature meet technology. Some of the flowers are hand-painted, but they are all real, and there are approximately 100,000 of them.Rachel Espersen of Genesis House says pink represents the rose of Sharon, which is the flower of Korea. Purple represents the Korean night sky, also Leatham's Vanda orchid, and the orange and yellows represents the magma from Jeju Island.
