What Is an Herbscape?
Herbscapes explores the creation of immersive environments built around living aromatic plants.
Sculpture, landscape, fragrance and sound come together to transform overlooked spaces into places where visitors can stop, sit, listen and experience the natural environment.
Living
Sculptural herbs and miniature landscapes create environments that grow and change over time.
Aromatic
Rosemary and other herbs introduce natural fragrance as an intentional part of the experience.
Acoustic
Ambient music and environmental sound create another dimension beyond what visitors can see.
The Rosemary Project
The first Herbscapes installations will explore rosemary as both a living material and a sensory experience. Sculpted rosemary plants — including rosemary bonsai — can be combined with seating, landscape elements and ambient sound to create intimate spaces filled with fragrance, texture and music.
A New Kind of Public Space
An Herbscape might occupy a museum courtyard, garden, park, walkway or an otherwise overlooked corner of the city.
Some installations may be completely open to their surroundings. Others may use partial enclosures to create small environments visitors can enter — temporarily stepping away from the city while remaining within it.
Rosemary is only the beginning.
