OurPlants

What if…the experience of plant ownership could be made into a social activity that encourages youths to collaborate with one another?

OurPlants is a scalable product system comprising wall fixtures and plant potters that leverages the act of growing greenery together.

The product system concept enables a group of plant-loving enthusiasts to choose between the edibles or decorative plants route in an application. The edibles route gets them to purchase a variety of potters and edible seeds to grow and cook with their friends. The decorative path enables them to buy structures and decorative seeds to spice up their living spaces.

Sociability In Greenery

It is no surprise that young people are constantly attached to their laptops and phones. Having plants as a millennial affects them psychologically as an "antidote to insane connectivity".

So, why do we love them so much? Biophilia refers to the innate tendency for humans to seek connections with nature and other forms of life. Biophilic activities and time spent in nature are proven to strengthen our connections as humans to nature due to the technological advancements that disconnect us from nature.

However, Growing plants alone can be daunting and tedious, especially when you can’t show the amount of progress and effort you’ve put into developing them. By leveraging sociality, people can be brought together to collaborate in growing plants, which deepens the overall relationship and encourages users to invest their time & money in nurturing their plants and friends.
