made from a biological cotton, 'hanging gardens, are cloth 'hand bags' that are a good alternative
to planting balcony plants and flowers. doubling as a fashion accessory, they simplify the transportation of
greenery from the florist or nursery. they can easily be hung from balcony railings.
a new smaller concept of the 'hanging garden' can also act as a means of preventing excess packaging,
which occurs when you buy flowers in a standard pot.

the form of 'tutrix' draws on that of a winter garden, crystalized by frost.
the tutrices are shaped like branches, where each one can be sheafed into another,
allowing them to accommodate and grow with the plant.
