Maison Monday: Osusowake Planter

Osusowake Planter, home gardening conceptIt’s hard to believe it, but Spring is fast approaching. This got us thinking about how our vegetable garden would look in a few months time, and what we need to do to help it get there. While we produced a good crop last year, some of out plants did not fair so well as a result of too much rain. In any case, in the coming weeks, we’re going to be starting some of our plants off from seed, growing them in small containers that can be transplanted when the conditions are right. We’ll likely rely on empty milk cartons and yogurt containers, but if you’re the type of person who relies on designer awesomeness, you may be interested in Osusowake. Admittedly, this creation isn’t meant for transplanting plants to your outdoor garden, but it’s still pretty cool.  Osusowake was designed by Kenma, as a planting system that could be grown and then divided in order to share with friends and family. Recipients can then combine them with any existing plants that they may have, creating a unique plant that becomes symbolic of the ties and connections you have with others. It completely rethinks the notion of plants and goes beyond the possibilities that conventional potting soil offers.
