Guiding Questions

Does phytoremediation research data from field- applications of ornamental species support the possibility of offsetting remediation costs with cut- flower profits? And then, how would a proposed “Flower District” in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood provide an economic and social structure for a “phyto-to-market” system while improving surrounding ecosystem health?

Design Research: Early Investigations

  • Diagramming
  • Mapping
  • Walking Interviews
  • Tactile Analysis
  • Data Analysis
  • Modeling
  • Rendering
  • Experiencing
  • Synthesis

What do floral farmers think about a phyto-to-market system?

  • Public perception of the pollinator benefits from floral industry is

needed

  • Increased public knowledge of the mental health benefits of floral

products is needed

  • Phyto Flowers must be marketable and desired
  • Customer surveys must be done to know desire
  • Would customers pay more for phyto flowers? Info needed.
  • Urban phyto floral farmers should receive a tax subsidy
  • Flowers must be pollinator friendly
  • Hardy urban plants require little or no Irrigation
