Title:
Plant me a Garden

Author:
Studio Flyaway

Description:
These miniature gardens are reused, repurposed and up-cycled polystyrene (styrofoam) debris collected from the Gulf of Mexico. Each piece of polystyrene is planted with lettuce, providing a vessel for growing that insulates, reflects heat, holds water and is reusable while keeping the material out of landfills and waterways. Creating gardens with polystyrene could help create greener cities by providing free, light weight gardening materials for container gardening. This could be a great benefit to city dwellers short on space and protect the environment at the same time.
