The diverse media and materials used in the exhibition open new ways to look at and to interpret the theme of the works. The Garden group has organized several environmental art exhibitions in Finland and in Estonia. The Garden Group has organized exhibitions in 2008 and 2009 in the greenhouses of the Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden, Helsinki, Finland. In 2009 and 2011, the exhibitions took place in the Tallinn Botanic Garden. The Garden Group organized two environmental art exhibitions in the summer of 2014.
