About 2 weeks ago I was asked to work on the vertical garden with french botanist Patrick Blanc, myself and 7 other gardeners planted 50 square metres of gorgeous plants into a wall of a shopping centre, which will be set up permanently!

EAT THE CITY

“The Romans, upon conquering a city, would plant seeds in the cracks of its walls and structures, so that eventually the plants would pull the buildings apart and destroy what was left of the city.” - Anonymous

 Eat the City is an exercise in small scale guerilla gardening that explores notions of apocalypse, revolution, coexistence with other species and transformation. 
Inspired by David Attenborough’s ‘Private Life of Plants’, Eat the City explores the invasive, threatening and cunning nature of plants and their cohorts, in an effort to challenge existing attitudes of their inert and benevolent relationship to humans. The installation aims to stimulate the viewer to re-imagine the urban environment transformed by plants in ridiculous, beautiful and sometimes violent ways. Coupled with photographs of existing guerilla gardens and portraits of revolutionary gardeners, Eat the City suggests possible incursions of the domestic suburban garden on the CBD and its inhabitants.
