Space-Saving Solution To Grow Herbs In Your Garden
‘The Whirligro is made up from individual growing tubes, each one holding 3 plants. Each Whirligro holds 10 tubes, spiralling around a central post…that’s 30 plants in an area under 1m by 1m. Each plant grows through a hole in the plastic tubing so that the only area that ever needs weeding is a couple of inches wide.’

‘Artist Jeff Schmuki uses common materials and repurposes them into art that comments on the real costs of over-consumption. Lattice is an undulating soft sculpture composed of nylon fabric tubes stuffed with a growing medium and seeded with local plants. The piece stretches throughout the gallery, creating a green space that speaks to contemporary re-imaginings of hard and soft, drawing and sculpture, space and time, fragility and regeneration. Each soft grey tube will slowly turn green and generate an artistic “event” that incorporates textures, shadows, and smells’. (Inhabitat)
