Plant UR Cup

Summary

I saw this workshops:prototypes:2022-23delivery-lasercutcovers:planturcup:img_7414.jpg one day at my local and asked what they did with the cups? They used them to grow seedlings. i thought that this could be a thing we did in the Coffee Stop. Set up a station on Level 1 of the Edge, somewhere by the coffee stop, where patrons could plant a seed or seedling into their empty coffee cup and take it home with them. It could be something productive (ediblehttp://www.prettyproduce.com.au/about, attract pollinatorsworkshops:prototypes:2022-23delivery-lasercutcovers:planturcup:img_7812.jpg, air filteringhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Clean_Air_Study)

This could

be a brief 3min activity that patrons could engage with upstairs

a way getting people to think about their rubbish

a hands on way of recycling/ upcycling

an opportunity for people to learn the rarely* practiced technique of planting a seed (Urban people don't plant stuff)

something to take home and talk about

there could be a didactic about the productive nature of the plant
