Living Carpet

I tought it would be nice to create a living Carpet , which invites people to sit down in the sun and enjoy Nature.

This project was realized at the Botanical Garden in Linz (Austria).

First you just need to pick a place for you Project. You decide if it´s in your private space or if you have access to a public space where more people can enjoy your work and gather for exchange or just sharing free Time.

you need to have enough earth, depending on the square meter you want your carpet.

I directly put the earth on the grass so later the rolling lawn can grow- the whole carpet increases and looks more like a Carpet lying on the ground.

put the rolling lawn on the prepared ground and water it twice a day.

After a few days it might be rooted.

When the lawn has rooted you can start cutting the Pattern you like. I preferred working with a scissor to make precise lines and surfaces.

Enjoy your playful thoughts while resting on a living carpet ;)

....and don´t forget to recut or adding new patterns.
