Butterfly Republic Beer Garden: model
Materials: torn newspaper, pipe cleaners, markers, foam core, chipboard
In this project’s alternate history, the first Earth Day in 1970 is celebrated with the planting of a grove of London planetrees to mark the site of avoided violence between striking steel workers and police. Over time, this grove develops into a memorial beer garden where neighbors gather at tables under a leafy canopy to share pints of Butterfly Republic Brewing beer. The gloriously colorful bark and dappled shade of Platanus ×acerifolia creates the perfect atmosphere for relaxing after a hard day at the office, brewery, or urban agriculture operation.
