Few things I have seen have been more beautiful than my experience at Flower House Detroit.
what is flower house?
during the third weekend of october 2015, cutting edge florists from michigan and across the country filled the walls and ceilings of an abandoned detroit house with american-grown fresh flowers and living plants for a weekend installation friday, october 16th through sunday october 18th, with an estimated 3,000+ visitors.
now that the october installation weekend has passed, the house that held the exhibition will soon be responsibly deconstructed and its materials repurposed. the land will be converted into a flower farm and design center for project creator lisa waud’s business pot & box on their formerly neglected properties.
I hope Detroit sees another installation like this in the future; it was breathtaking, magical and something I was so grateful to see. Waiting in line with others to witness such a unique and beautiful work of living art felt special and something worth repeating.
