MOBILE PLANT AMBASSADOR

 Mobile Plant Ambassador

The Mobile Plant Ambassador unit was developed in 2010 by artists Yvette Molina and Sarah Filley to take plants “on the road.” A visual mash-up of ice cream carts, nostalgic vending stands, and Barnum and Bailey type attractions, the Mobile Plant Ambassador promotes spontaneous interaction with the novel experience of building a terrarium directly from the cart. All supplies: glass containers, pumice, soil, and a variety of plant cuttings, are arranged in the order needed to build a terrarium in four easy steps. Participants are invited to express their personal creativity through plants while learning about propagation, plant care, and micro-systems – the only fee is curiosity!
