The tubes are shown 1,2,3, and 4 respectively after one week of living in the cardboard tubes. In one week, they received much rain water and minimal sunlight. The first plant was in the plastic cup and flourished the best because the water was contained longer compared to the netting of 2,3,4 where the water fell through to the ground.
This is plant number one, which is the plant that flourished the best. We have decided on using the cups to connect the plants to the cardboard tubes because the plants can stay alive the longest as well as it is the easiest way to connect them. Using the cups also allows for people passing by to take a flower if they so desire.
After some discussion, we decided that it would be best to also use grass as some of our tube-fillers for the plant section of our project. Depending on where the plants go on the project, the grass will start from the structure's lowest tubes and gradually start to be filled in with flowers as the tubes increase in height. Since the cardboard tube aspect of the project has become more of a flowing organic shape, this element of grass gradually turning into flowers brings the entire project together visually.
