Students at the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic have brought nature to Tauranga's cityscape and created a garden on the roof of the Bongard Centre.
Five floors above the ground is the polytechnic's fantasy garden, a feature in this year's Garden and Artfest 2012.
The interactive garden, which opens to the
public at 7 tonight, is a children's playground where dipping your feet in a paddling pool is part of the experience.
The garden was created by Diploma in Graphic Design students with the visitors' experience set to sounds from the Diploma in Music Production and Performance students.
Creative director Laurie Steer said it was free to visit the garden in Cameron Rd. People could buy handmade gifts from the pop-up store, with all funds raised donated to Starship Children's Hospital.
