43. Hanging Gardens

Five meters above the ground, you step out of the doorway leading into the trunk of Lone Tree and onto the wildly swinging catwalk of boards and rope. You keep a firm grip as you make your way toward the massive boxes, each as large as a flatboat and overflowing with plants that hang from the tree’s thick branches. As the wind shifts, you catch the heady aroma of blooming flowers and ripe vegetables.
