Urban Naturalistic Installations (UNI) is an environmental, integration and sustainable education project in Lund initiated by non-profit organisation ABC - Active contributions for people and the environment. The project is possible thanks to support from City of Lund's Environmental Grant. During 2017, UNI will engage people of Lund in creating three "natural installations" in central places of the city. These installations aim to increase biodiversity and create open meeting places and educational platforms right in the heart of Lund. We will start with a design drawing of the future installations in February and cultivation of a wide variety of herbs, spices, flowers, vegetables and berries and design the installations in March. Followed by building the foundations of the installations in April. Then, during Lund's Sustainability Week in May, we will actually install and fill the installations with plants. We hope to see people of all ages and backgrounds in Lund participate in this creative process! The UNI project is a follow-up project of the Naturalistic Art (NA) project done during 2016`s . NA was a cultural, integration and environmental sustainability project in Lund organised by the Team of Greenhouse Educational Ecosystem (GEE) poject, part of ABC Swedish non-governmental organisation. NA focused on teaching practical know-how how to create conceptual artworks from natural materials for bringing aesthetic pleasure and raising awareness for the participants and the society about environmental and social sustainability. The artworks were art installations in public spaces or specially designed products from minerals, seeds and plants, tree barks and cones, dried fruits, feathers, etc. The created artworks were for public benefit, gifted, exchanged or shared for donation, and the money raised were used for supporting the development of the Greenhouse Educational Ecosystem (GEE) project and ABC and HU organisations work. The project is initiated by the Swedish non-profit organisation ABC - Active contributions for people and the environment and made possible thanks to the financial support from City of Lund's Environmental Grant. The project is also supported by the Bulgarian non-profit organisation Naturalistichno::
