Artist, Peter Cook, created this living garden chair, grown via the ‘Pooktre’ method. Pooktre art, or Tree Shaping, is the practice of training living trees, and other woody plants, into artistic shapes and useful structures.
Anyone can learn Pooktre, however don’t expect to create your first masterpiece over night.
The piece on the left took about eight years, and a lot of guiding to get it to where it is today.

Hmmm… just had a great idea…. I’m gonna drag out the knitting and crochet needles and head on over to the front lawn. I should be able to handcraft a rug, a sunhat, a couple of bedspreads and a few sweaters out of the grass clippings. Don’t think I’ll knit any slacks…. they may chafe a little.
Wait a minute… I just realized that I don’t have the time or patience. This guy gets a “thumbs up” from me just for sticking with this project for 8 years. An amazing tree/chair. Wow!

Just had a look at the website, and my admiration for this couple has definately gone up a notch or two. I would be a little worried about fires, and seeing my “trees” go up in smoke. what a lot of work!
