Overview

Giant glass bubbles filled with pot plants and assorted greenery sprouted on the boulevards of Paris last week in a celebration of the popularity of houseplants in the city of love (a recent survey showed that 8 out of 10 French homes have indoor plants).

Which seems a strange statistic to celebrate, but who really cares? The four pop-up structures served as walk-in greenhouses and as a rare spot for smelling the roses (literally, haha!) amidst the busy urban environment.
