“This is one way for commuters to relax on their hectic early morning trip to work – by sitting back and relaxing in a garden built in an underground train carriage. The bizarre mobile garden was created by Joseph Baldwin and a team of 10 volunteers, who painstakingly laid over 400 sods of grass throughout the train in Chicago. Every inch of floor and seat space is covered in lush green plants and grass – making the normally stressful commuter carrier into a tranquil idyll. And after spending a backbreaking eight hours solid decking out the normally bland train carriage in an explosion of greenery, the group then sent the train around the cities downtown loop. For one day only thousands of stressed out city workers in Chicago were able to relax in the relatively peaceful mobile garden.” w/ photos
