Part 2 - Heather Ring - Wayward Plants

''What is Landscape''

''A Project of Social Exchange and Botanical Desire''

Heather Ring is a Landscape Architect who has worked in practices of Gustafson Porter and Martha Schwartz in landscape designs of large scale public open spaces. She is also the finder of Wayward Plant Registry. 

Here is the work of Wayward people do –

• Plant Adoption – The public can adopt unwanted plants
• Community Exchange – Unwanted plants can be exchanged with others
• The Union Street: Urban Orchard – A site that is completed made from recycled materials, with adopted and exchanged plants and tress, it is a mix use site open to the public, it is an friendly site that encourages people to engage with. And take a plant when ever you go to add your own contribution to the place

Heather talk was quite interesting, it shows how people are passionate about what they do, and how they are inspired by different things you might not even think about. To be honest I did not even know about Plant Adoption or Exchange was quite amazed of the job Heather was doing. Heather has shown enthusiasm and dedication within her work, which can inspire people.
