Giant plant tags tell you how to care for streetlights, hydrants, and mailboxes

It’s all very well to talk about the urban jungle, but how often are you supposed to water it? Carmichael Collective’s tongue-in-cheek urban plant tags offer care instructions for metropolitan flora like benches, fire hydrants, stop signs, and mailboxes.

The signs are mostly for giggles, not for actual municipal worker guidance — the park bench sign, for instance, specifies “occasionally wipe clean” but also “keep warm with butt.” But as an art project, they’re a cool, witty way of demonstrating that the urban environment requires care and attention.
