Garbage Flowers
 |
Citygardenguide usually disdains artificial flowers, but came upon several unusual fakes attached to some tree grates in midtown Manhattan. Garbage Flowers are made from "recognizably recycled" products. These witty riffs on our throwaway culture are reminiscent of some of the funkier designs in community gardens. (Check out the fence, made out of flattened, cut-out cans, at La Plaza Cultural on East 9th Street and Avenue C to see what we mean.) While we wait for real flowers to bloom, go to the Garbage Flowers website and get in the mood for spring. As their motto says "unlike regular flowers garbage flowers do not die!"
