Plant Seeds Travelling Through Mini Libraries

Mini libraries resembling telephone booths are used to raise users’ interest in ecological and environmental protection. Presented as a “Library of Plant Seeds,” we provide seeds of different kinds of vegetables, flowers and other plants which users can take them home to grow while also donating seeds for others. Users can record the the growth of the seeds through pictures, videos or text and share on the website “Plant Seeds Travelling,” which has been set up specially for sharing such information. Since the project was launched at the end of 2013 over eighteen and a half thousand small bags of seeds, of two hundred and forty-six species of different plants, have been sent to more than nine thousand users. Sharing the seeds and such planting practices has further publicised the ideas of green and low carbon usage.
