December 2018
Nikita Lenssen and Diana Munteanu worked hard on creating a map for the grow beds.
Living Gallery (January 2019)
There was a moment when the project had the working title: Living Gallery, in case you are looking for older documents.
We asked Eveline Stilma from Innoplant to make a plan for the grow beds around Mediamatic. She wrote the following document which was edited by Diana Munteanu and Flavia Terzian (interns that were intensively working on the project at the time).
Icons, Drawings, and First Plant Signs editions
Anaïs Legros worked hard on designing the first plant signs and icons. There have been a lot of meetings to pick the right icons and 'blockprints' for the plants. Thierry took over from her with creating the drawings of the plants.
Leoniek Bontje
When the project shifted to the medicinal value of the plants, we needed to know what was growing around the Biotoop. With the help of Leoniek Bontje we identified more than 200 plants that you can find in the Plant database.
Simone Brus
One particular morning, Simone Brus came to Mediamatic to bring Willem a copper pan he bought off her online. She noticed the grow beds and couldn't help herself to comment on its status. She shared her own situation with her garden and blew us away with her knowledge. Ever since she has guided our Tuesday afternoons in the garden - from weeding to planting, from trimming to sowing.
Another round of ordering plant signs and spreading the word
