The Gardens evoke a dystopian experience where plants and machines have mutated, fused and evolved, producing a twisted pastiche of post-apocalyptic permaculture.<\/p>\n<p>Be transported into a parallel world where questions are raised and not necessarily answered. The Synthetic Gardens engage visitors with notions of impending doom and yet at the same time, through beauty and humour a sense of optimism and hope is inspired.<\/p>\n<p>Each manifestation creates a unique Garden experience. Audiences may encounter walk-about characters, interactive games, live sonic concerts, trash flowers that tower about you, or living plants that burst out from amongst the paintings. Every nook and cranny is festooned with detail: bizarre inhabitants of organic, industrial or mechanoid nature.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/syntheticgardens.org\/index.php\/profile\/billgardenier-scene\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-444\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-444\" title=\"bill&amp;gardenier scene\" src=\"http:\/\/syntheticgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/billgardenier-scene-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/syntheticgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/billgardenier-scene-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/syntheticgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/billgardenier-scene-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/syntheticgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/billgardenier-scene.jpg 591w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The Synthetic Gardens is like no other horticultural experience.
