The Greenhouse, a self-sustaining event venue will rise from the ground of Federation Square for three months only will dish up degustation fare – in part dug from the garden of its own roof-top space – in a structure designed entirely from detritus. Tiny ‘taste-tubes (science laboratory ware is just some of the discard to double as dishes) will be served by vintage-dressed waiters wheeling ‘de-registered shopping trolleys around furniture made from found ‘stuff.
Think local, act local is the imperative of this ‘waste of a space project that is the brain-child of one man who, having made a lifes work of trash, will show how simply it turns into treasure….with minimal cost to pocket and no cost to the planet.
