There is also a clear environmental message, as the installation is sponsored by RELOVE Technology, who have given nearly 100 million devices a second life by recycling components.
He said it is more important than ever to explore the topic of technology and appeal to younger audiences, who are highly aware of the environmental problems we face.
The sculpture is combined with a sound installation where you can hear the plants and the mushrooms, which Koutroumpas says has moved people to tears.
“It was almost as if it was something meditative. They couldn’t explain it, but it brought them to tears, they felt a release,” he said.
A RHS spokesperson said gardening is for everyone, of any age and from all walks of life, “whether growing food on an allotment or keeping houseplants”.
“Gardening is a universal language, that brings people together to create a better, brighter world for everyone,” added the spokesperson.
