WETLAB: Greywater Garden, 2009
WETLAB is a multi-initiative project that addresses the growing concern of peak water through intervention, praxis, coalition, and activism. WETLAB presents several participatory projects that transform exhibition spaces into working lab environments. The audience is invited to participate in DIY projects that engage critical water issues investigating consumption, access, sustainability, and innovation. The Greywater Garden – Workshop participants are introduced to the ABC's of domestic greywater technology and practice. They also learn to plant and maintain a small personal xeric garden using drought tolerant plants. Participants are asked to maintain their garden at home and are challenged to use only greywater - wastewater generated from domestic activities such as dish washing, laundry and bathing. Participants are asked to regularly share the progress of their gardens on a blog created for the project. View project blog here View more project
