Hope After Humanity or Hopeless Humanity?
Can you donate to help me showcase my vision for a more sustainable planet?
Set in the year 2099 and titled 'Hope After Humanity', I've designed a houseplant studio for this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show that centres on sustainability. Showing an alternative future, where tropical plants thrive in a warmer UK climate, this is an installation that aims to have an impact that reaches far beyond the show.
I've teamed up with UK based rare plant sellers, GrowTropicals, to bring the concept to life. Featuring an abandoned building, the display hints that humanity lost the battle against global warming. With plants now reigning supreme, visitors will be wondering what they can do to prevent this dystopian future.
Using salvaged materials from marketplaces and skips, we've prevented items from going to landfill and given them a new lease of life.
PLEASE HELP TO MOVE THIS DISPLAY OVER THE FINISH LINE.
Our society needs to challenge our ways of thinking about sustainability, to ensure a brighter future for younger generations. After hunting for a sponsor to fund my Chelsea vision, I've not managed to find a business committed to make a difference. What was anticipated to personally cost no more than £2000, is looking to finish up at more like £4000-£5000.
If you care about sustainability too, then please support this cause by donating towards this project. I truly believe that together, we can help to curb the curve of climate change.
