Bees and bottles.

Examples of recycled bottles becoming something more.

This blog demonstrates how versatile bottles can be. From anything to candlesticks to magazine racks. Thankfully, this lady hasn't created a plant pot-or anything similar to our idea for Wrexham in Bloom.

Further examples of more adventurous usages of plastic bottles.

Our model will require over 30 plastic bottles to make an impact, and we also will need to research flowers that attract Bees in order to link the over-all design back to the initial brief.

Researching plants which attract bees, many of the 'flowers' would be too large for the pots, however there are some perennials which would be suitable for the idea.

List of possible flowers to use:

• buttercups
• crocuses
• dahlias
• geraniums
• hyacinth
• lavender (herbs, produce an appealing sent)
• poppies

Why do we need bees?

Why do we need to recycle?

We have all separated into individual tasks. I am researching and creating notices with information on them. I believe my strongest talent is research.

Currently I am writing up the information on, why we need to recycle, why we need bees and what the plant pot is about.

The idea is that these information notices are to be put around the bottom of the plant pot. So that when people are looking at the pot they understand/learn what is going on there.

Cons to this idea however, are the placing of the pot in the centre of the town could put it at risk of getting destroyed by people.
