Plant installation on the Gołębia street. Plants were removed from the area of a torn down bus station. The city au- thorities had decided to establish a supermarket there. However, the conflict between the investor and the authorities prevented any action. Nothing has been built in this area yet. Within 5 years, a multi-species forest ecosystem grew there. The bus station area is located near the city center. Couple years ago it was an important communication node. Now, this terrain remains fenced and totally inaccessible for citizens. The transfer of plants from the former bus sta- tion to the plant pots at the center of the city is to emphasize the process occurring in that excluded and abandoned space. At the area of former bus station the community of plants, which do not know the concept of wasteland, has grown up. They are able to optimally adapt any area to their needs.
