A Floral Designer Is Turning NYC Trash Cans Into Giant Vases Filled With Flowers

Megi7 — Thu, 11 May 2017 13:20:19 +0000

Mysterious flower arrangements have been appearing all over Manhattan during the last couple of months. Sidewalks, trash cans, statues and public plazas are the main targets of this guerrilla campaign. “Gifting flowers to New Yorkers is a simple idea that I have been thinking about for years,” Lewis writes on his website. “[I] hoped for smiles, the ones that happen when you witness a random act of kindness. That was my goal, my vision. Create an emotional response through flowers.”

The series is called Flower Flashes. Each installation has a different vibe. “Our Alice in Wonderland installation was romantic, feminine and whimsical,” Miller told NBC New York. “Our trash can flashes are edgier and ephemeral.” The bouquets also vary in scale. The largest ones consist of thousands of flowers like roses, dahlias, and orchids, and, if produced for a client at Miller’s firm, could cost upwards of $10,000.

When someone accepts the offer, they are provided with lunch and given $9/hour for five and a half hours of work, which involves things like weeding the streets, picking up trash, and basic landscaping work.

With about 75% homeless people accepting the offer to work, the city is looking at expanding the program to five days a week.

When the work day is over, individuals are dropped off at a local hospitality center where they have options for food, shelter, and a variety of other services. It’s clear to see that the city of Albuquerque has acknowledged a problem and found a forward thinking way of solving it. It’s only a matter of time before other cities follow in Albuquerque’s footsteps, and that may not be a bad thing at all.
