Your Garden Is Darker Than You Think

An Open Day campaign asking visitors to the School of Underlying Conditions' soil laboratory to arrive with a jar of their own garden soil

A marketing poster for the School of Underlying Conditions invites the public to its spring Open Day in the soil laboratory, where a bench of beakers runs from pale gold to black and each visitor's own garden soil is taken through to its humic fraction. Prepared for the landscape signage panels in matched daylight and evening renderings, with a short reading list from the School's published record.
