Children's Paradise at Times Square Creative Garden, Causeway Bay
🌸🌻🌴Times Square x Botanic Union "It's Play Time!" brings together creative plant amusement park🎉
Hong Kong lacks urban gardens. People face the concrete jungle every day and feel lifeless. In view of this, Times Square has cooperated with Botanic Union, a recently popular hidden botanical garden in Hong Kong, to build "It's Play Time!" using recyclable materials in the open air plaza on the ground floor of Times Square from now until August 29. The creative plant amusement park collaborates with many different units, including the music-loving yoga man Derek Lam, star Youtuber Coffee and his Uncle Zhai, founder and artist Liang Weiting of the Ivory Palace root plant brand Plants of Gods, and two artistic creations Team Graphic Airlines, vintage upcycling Midwest and over a thousand children from Decui Primary School and Kindergarten have created this urban oasis with a creative interactive game space, allowing trendy people in the city, and even families, to enjoy exploring this childlike place. Avant-garde environmentally friendly green paradise. As the art design guidance consultant for the entire project, Botanic Union uniquely presents an exclusive botanical paradise where adults and children can travel freely, have fun and explore. In addition, "It's Play Time!" also has a Macramé knot crafting workshop and a green ball moss jade Kokedama making workshop. In addition, Botanic Union also designed a series of time stickers themed on the five elements of the event and distributed them for free in the venue to promote the sustainable concept of "It's Play Time!".
Designed by Graphic Airlines member Tat and Plants of Gods founder Liang Weiting, he erected a huge seedling statue in the garden to show everyone that everything is actually a seed, and then wait for it to sprout slowly. It has become a great thing, so the seedlings have become so big. Don't look down on the seeds and seedlings, and children are just seeds and seedlings in human society. The rainwater on the seedling statues was inspired by the rain, and the patterns on all the trucks were collectively created and painted with the help of more than a thousand children from Decui Primary School and Kindergarten Department.
The illustrations and patterns on the floors and different sculptures throughout the park were created by the two-person art creation team of Graphic Airlines. They use different lines and patterns to represent the five elements of nature - round "gold", linear "wood", and corrugated "Water", the triangular "fire", and the square "earth", combined with the patterns of four-season plants, run through the entire park, bringing out the balance and circulation of the ecological environment. They perfectly match the Midwest's promotion of vintage upcycling to recycle clothing. The artistic cloth strips made decorate the tree branches.

Magic Tree" is based on the "Ivory Palace" growing in Madagascar.

This "Magic Tree" has a specially designed hole for the public to walk through and feel the majesty and uniqueness of the root plant trunk, allowing them to interact with plants from different regions. The two huge flowerpot tree houses in the park are also designed by Prodip, and are also inspired by root plants with various shapes. They further allow the public to understand different types of plants, while also adding a fashionable and unique style to the park.
Yoga man Lam Tak-sin, who loves music, has transformed recycled materials such as environmentally friendly plastic bottles, aluminum cans, iron lids, plastic hoses, etc. into a playable music and art installation for the public to play and create "environmentally friendly" music.
