Joost Bakker is without a doubt one of Melbourne's most resourceful men, creating incredible industrial flower displays, furniture, installation art and other mind-blowing pieces from detritus he finds out and about in his daily travels.
His Greenhouse project is a self-sustaining event venue built to operate for a short period down in Fed Square. Highlights include: floors of deconstructed shipping crates, a rooftop garden that grows some of the produce served from the kitchen, a feature wall of wild strawberries planted in old plastic palettes, tables fabricated from redundant fire hydrants, chairs of re-structured street signs and shade-cloths woven from tiles discarded by the Melbourne Cricket Club.
Apart from Joost's creative genius, food by the illustrious Shannon Bennet and drinks by the Seamstress posse are available, so you shouldn't really need any other reasons to head down.
