A Brooklyn-shaped garden bed, replete with flora from around the world, is about to take up residence in [Fort Greene Park.](/?s=fort+greene+park)

Artist Juanli Carrion’s [“Outer Seed Shadow Project”](http://outerseedshadow.org/oss02/?ref=bklyner.com), developed alongside the New York City Parks Department,will open at 6pm on June 2 at the Myrtle Avenue and Washington Park Plaza in Fort Greene Park, and the exhibit is expected to last for five months.

“Conceived as a living sculpture, the garden is open for five months, serving as a centerpiece to articulate public programming that further discusses coexistence, immigration, and cultural identity,” reads the [official website.](http://outerseedshadow.org/oss02/about/?ref=bklyner.com)

The project’s first location opened in Manhattan’s Duarte Square back in 2014\. The project is the product of a series of interviews, each of which represents a specific community’s experience of immigration and finishes with the recommendation of a particular plant to symbolize the group.

The plants used for the project will be available for public adoption when the exhibit closes, according to the [Fort Greene Park Conservancy](http://www.fortgreenepark.org/events/2016/6/2/art-installation-oss02-opening?ref=bklyner.com).

There will be a [reception ](http://www.fortgreenepark.org/events/2016/6/2/art-installation-oss02-opening?ref=bklyner.com)at the Fort Greene Park visitor’s center after the opening.
