The Green Cocoon
The aim of this pop-up intervention, called The Green Cocoon, was to introduce a micro therapeutic garden to a specific park in Rotterdam. It was created for social interaction and a connection with nature in the city.
User Experience

The playful aspect of the signs in the midst of the plants invited people to interact with them and also helped start a dialogue with others.



The Green Cocoon had specific plants that targeted the senses; ones were meant for touch, others for smell, and others could be put in teas or simply eaten raw.
