In this passion project created during a Gallagher & Associates internship my collaborators and I wanted to design a series of exhibits for a (fictional) botanical garden that would bring hidden elements of a garden to the forefront and allow visitors to feel responsible for supporting the garden. We focused on the irrigation system, making it visible as a series of tubes and water features that ran throughout the space. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the water in a variety of ways so that they can learn, in a tactile way, how to care for a healthy garden.

I designed a series of playful interactive exhibitions to engage visitors with different aspects of their experience at New York Water Garden.
