Bagged-in-Soil Beauties
We discovered this nifty innovator in the Sept/Oct Australian Vogue Living issue. Joost Bakker of Urban Crop provides Melburnians with living, breathing flowers and herbs planted in a nutrient-rich soil that is mostly organic waste. His bagged-in-soil beauties come with their root systems intact – they still have their life source with them – providing the recipients with clean air and nutrient- packed leaves. Bakker’s underlying message is to make cities worldwide work as crop sources. Currently, his product can be found in Melbourne’s bars, cafes, book and bike shops. His ultimate goal – deliver the message to the world!
