July 15: The Mobile Planting Station!
Our first run of the Mobile Planting Station, a moving caravan that travels to different neighborhoods in Anyang to exchange pots for plants or offer citizens the chance to plant their own pot to take care of. MPS is an initiative by raumlabor and Open Vegetable Gardens, a project by Marjetica Potrc
At 1pm we strategically planted ourselves (no pun intended) at the intersection of the green corridor. Within the hour, we were swamped by children and their mothers, ready to plant something. We found that people love the hands-on experience of gardening and were fascinated by the strange caravan bikes specially designed by Giacomo Castagnola. By the late afternoon, the planting slowed to a manageable trickle. A few kids returned a few times, one boy making three separate trips bringing different friends and family. Mothers would call other mothers and those who were hurrying to other places asked how long we would stay, when we would be back. We tried to encourage all of them to come back to the Community Garden in Open House to take care of their plants. At the moment, the pots and plants are being watered by a nice summer shower.
The vegetable and herb plants will be collected and replanted in the Community Garden at Open House around Harvest Day on Sept 5.
