Thanks for the images. This place is a Jewel! The one thing I would suggest is that the floating container gardens offer a weak visual and they are so prominently featured. When I see them at EPCOT sometimes they look beautiful and sometimes they are poor looking and that sticks in my memory. Would Butterfly attractors work in these floating containers?
