Dohyun Lee, an art director from New York, is organizing a mass plant funeral called "Root in Peace" on April 19 to help people grieve their deceased plants. Participants can say their goodbyes and learn from each other's plant care experiences in a lighthearted environment. Attendees will also have the opportunity to take portraits with their plants and write eulogies. The day ends with their plants being composted and the receipt of a biodegradable tombstone. This event highlights the emotional connections people can have with flora, even as they fail to keep them alive.
It felt weird tossing life out just because I didn't take care of it. I decided to have a proper farewell, like an apology.
This mass funeral allows attendees to share their experiences and maybe even learn from their stories, fostering a community of plant lovers.
Attendees will be able to say a final 'goodbye' to their deceased flora and give them a second shot at life—as compost.
The mood of the event will be lighthearted, with DJ sets and a barista making coffee on site, creating a unique farewell atmosphere.
