Grow a plant between glass plates

I think it would be cool to grow a plant between two glass plates, just to see how it looks. I imagine it would also force the plant to grow in slightly unusual patterns, and that would be interesting too. You'd probably have to use a strong glass just in case the plant decided to break out of its two-dimensional prison.

PS - It might make an interesting art exhibit.
PPS - That is assuming the plants grow at all.

Do you mean assuming that plants grow at all between glass plates, or grow at all fullstop.

Because I'm pretty sure they do grow without the glass. Just from my observations...

Yeah, you know, I think I've noticed a couple of plants growing on Earth. So growing them between glass would be the more challenging act.

And also, very cool.
