ARTfarm in the fall…
After one month from the completion of ARTfarm, AFHny STUDIO went back this weekend to check out the status of our installation and prepare for the winter time. Thanks to some cooler weather and some significant rain, we found the plants doing well and we are pleased the local Community is working together with the DOT to keep the place tidy. We actually sighted some ARTfarm tourists! As visitors of the Museum now walk around the building and sit on the stairs.
See below pictures from the second weekend of October. We had to replace a bottom planter and say goodbye to our Zinnias, but we welcomed our newest additions: Daffodils, Hyacinths and Tulips. They are buried underground now but will begin to come out at the end of March.
If you are interested in volunteering for garden maintenance of ARTfarm please contact us at studio@afhny.org
Lastly we would like to thank our friends at Inhabitat for featuring us in their site. http://inhabitat.com/2010/09/16/new-york-streets-turn-green-with-the-artfarm-project/
