Tungsten’s Take
This isn't just an oasis in a city of skyscrapers, it's a veritable museum of the highest caliber plant-art in the world. The old-growth forest, the Victorian glasshouse, the rose garden, the river: a single location scout here could yield a dozen distinct sets without a single company move.
