The Knotweed Project seeks participation from individuals willing and able to get close and personal with the plant.

* We will be harvesting and planting Japanese knotweed (in containers) this Sunday for use in an art installation this July.
* We also seek individuals willing to care for a plant over then next month and a half.

If you have tools you want to use on Sunday, please bring them (shovels and gardening gloves are most useful).
Please call (412)443-4210 for more information about this Sunday’s efforts and if you are interested in raising a young Japanese knotweed plant.

=====================================
The first planting! Please join us this Sunday! We ask that you bring knotweed from your neighborhood to plant in 5 gallon buckets. We then invite you to take home your plant and care for it for about two months, after which- it will become plant in the skinny building! Imagine FILLING the building with about 100 potted knotweed plants! The plants will then grow in the windows for about 2 months. If you have old plastic buckets, bring them!
