The would-be trash is transformed by the artist into funky tribal masks which double as [fun planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bough-pot) for a few lucky ferns and flowers. The inverted plastic jugs have been strategically attached to light standards and sign posts throughout the city and now bring a touch of green distraction to an otherwise [grey urban environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-green). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Upcycling Gardening:** Creating artful planters out of repurposed materials like milk jugs. - **Guerrilla Gardening:** Revitalizing urban spaces with unexpected green installations. - **Living Street Art:** Integrating living plants and art to beautify public spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sustainability:** Exploring ways to upcycle and repurpose plastic waste into functional art. - **Urban Planning:** Incorporating guerrilla gardening tactics within city planning to make urban spaces more green. - **Art and Design:** Merging art and nature to create unique and eco-friendly installations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Container-Based Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottle-farm-mini.md) - [Compact Canned Houseplants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-mini-can-foliage.md) - [Multifunctional Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-plant-planter.md) - [Oversized Colorful Dynamic Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tfm.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetment-vegetable-cultivator.md) - [Recycled Packaging Planter Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-pak-and-keter.md) - [Experimental Pottery Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourd-project.md) - [Chic Self-Watering Garden Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glowpear-mini-bench.md) - [Demure Dual-Function Hanging Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-fixture-planter.md)
