Find Some Time, Get Creative

Planted Out, Post Junk

A picture says a thousand words, but oh the stories our new "planted out, post junk" installations tell..

As the bottle cap sign says, welcome..

Our team at the Philippine Organic Garden Project have put down the shovels and picked up the metaphorical paint brush. Rest easy readers, today we will leave behind all things gardening, landscaping and science. This is all about creativity.

May our newest robot/member of the team (Inspired by our previous teammate and creative advisor Andrew Taylor) point you in the direction of our vermicomposting unit..

Beneath the installation of fan screens we are developing a nutrient rich fertiliser utilising African Nightcrawler earthworms. The installation of fan screens is our "tropical igloo" designed to keep our earthworms safely hidden within the old tractor tyre kept within the centre of its structure.

Always keen to involve our community we found the university school students provided a whole other perspective of design and colour to the site.

Site officer Dudez embraces his creative side (left), meanwhile Professor Hernandez breaths life into and old speaker phone leaving it bursting with colour (right).

Site Officer Camillo took inspiration from nature and converted disused baking trays and old fan guards into an equally alive interpretation of a sunflower (left). Continuing to impress, Camillo surprised the team with his creation of two new "permanent site officials"(right).

Assembled to resemble our project designer; Eliza Rieger was feeling very happy to see that her new robot twin had a succulent growing from her head. Its hard not to smile in this place.
