ASeedlingPlace is an open process in constant progress, where visitors are invited to participate by planting seeds, transfering cuttings, tending and growing new plants in a collective garden. The structure acts as a scaffolding, a facilitator for co-creation while also extending its physicality by providing seeds and inviting the visitors to plant elsewhere, expanding it in both space and time.
