THE WAYWARD PLANT REGISTRY

Funeral for Flowers Installation
Landscape architect Heather Ring and Poet James Wilkes collaborate on a funeral setting for recycled flowers and a series of poetic eulogies to these plants. Visitors are invited to consider the afterlives of their plants and bring their flowers for burial.

The Wayward Plant Registry is a project which stimulates social exchange and botanical desire, by creating halfway homes and adoption events for unwanted plants. The Registry has been included in exhibitions at the Barbican London, the Graham Foundation Chicago and the Canadian Centre for Architecture Montreal, and will be creating a large scale garden of unwanted plants for the London Festival of Architecture 2010. Funerals for Flowers was developed by founder and landscape architect Heather Ring, in collaboration with poet and writer James Wilkes (www.renscombepress.co.uk).

For the flower and green waste collection, The Wayward Plant Registry has partnered with Thinking Flowers, a floral design company with an environmental conscience.
