Tools By Q
Tools by ‘Q’ is a series of everyday accessories reimagined as covert guerrilla gardening devices. The collection includes a handbag, briefcase, loafer, and camera, each designed to discreetly plant seeds, bulbs, or small shrubs in overlooked urban spaces. Paired with a set of seed pills, the objects transform familiar fashion and lifestyle items into playful tools for environmental intervention, allowing the guerrilla gardener to fold acts of planting into the rituals of daily life.
The 2-round tactical gravity planter is a handbag that has been created as one of a series of two objects. It accompanies the mk ii agent deployed field auger, dropping plants in the holes created by the briefcase.
The leather handbag contains a conveyor belt driven by a motor. When the user presses the button on the outside of the bag, the belt is activated and a plant (contained in a biodegradable pot) drops from the bottom.
The "Precision Bombing Device I" is a product intended for sowing seeds at long distances and over barriers (such as a fence). Although it appears to be a genuine camera, this piece has been fabricated from scratch. Inside, it contains a mechanism that projects small seed bullets 10-15 meters.
The "Precision Bombing Device II", aka 'the shoe,' allows the user to plant a seed every 20 steps. The seed bullets are held in a small reservoir that attaches to the leg, feeding the bullets through a tube to a rotating cartridge. This piece allows the gardener to walk and sow, making gardening a part of their everyday routine.
