This installation of mini-greenhouses highlights the 6 major cash crops of North Carolina. Single Plant Greenhouses enables people to see the living specimen of plants that we are more likely to encounter in either a processed, harvested or commoditized state. Building individual greenhouses at a scale to fit the full-grown plant, this act emphasizes the importance of the individual plant in its relation to the masses needed to help contribute to the economy of North Carolina.
