Row Boats built by the Saugatuck High School Shop Classes. Each boat contained a community garden, designed by ScottyGrows, that included several edible crops for community members to take home. Wind Chimes hung among the plants, created through educational programming with local elementary school classes, out of recycled materials.
The boats spanned over 1000', taking community members through the garden of the Saugatuck Center for the Arts, into Coghlin Park, and to the waterfront.
Each Location included summer educational workshops where students engaged with the art, imagined and created their own pieces. In many cases, the work they created was added to the pre-existing art piece.
