This is the work of Keisuke Yamada, a banana artist Kotaku first
profiled in 2011. To make these sculptures, Yamada, an electrician by
trade, must work fast, or the banana will start to go bad.
The Dubai Miracle Garden is unique in that it was essentially built on a
desert. Head landscaper Akar says that the grounds are a great example
of how it is possible to “green the desert” by reusing waste water.
Designers took additional precautions to protect the beautiful garden
arrangements from the environment. For instance, the garden’s perimeter
is lined with trees that are used as windbreakers. Unlike most of the
gardens around the world, the Dubai Miracle Garden closes during the
summer due to severe weather conditions.
