With more than 40,000 plants from around the world, The Spheres showcase biodiversity in the heart of Seattle.
The Seattle Spheres are a place where employees can think and work differently surrounded by plants.
The Spheres are a result of innovative thinking about the character of a workplace and an extended conversation about what is typically missing from urban offices– a direct link to nature. The Spheres are home to more than 40,000 plants from the cloud forest regions of over 30 countries.
Upon closer inspection, each plant tells its own unique story. Get up close and personal with a few of these plants through macro photography.
