As the owner of Lewis Miller Design, a company that specializes in
floral design and decoration, the ambitious artist has ample blooms at
his disposal. Armed with flowers leftover from events, Miller and his
team take to the streets to adorn trashcans with exquisitely-arranged
bouquets. Each colorful creation boldly contrasts the gritty grey tones
of the sidewalk, and quite literally turns the trash into a treasure
that all can enjoy. “Gifting flowers to New Yorkers is a simple idea
that I have been thinking about for years,” Lewis explains on the Lewis
Miller Design website.
“I am in the business of fantasy and flowers, and it’s my job to
transform key moments in my clients’ lives into joyful, everlasting
memories. I wanted to recreate a similar feeling for the everyday
city-dwellers and tourists of New York City.”
Each trash can vase created by Lewis Miller of Lewis Miller Design adds a bit of beauty to the streets of New York.
In addition to his remarkable receptacle makeovers, Miller also improves
the local scenery by placing cut flowers on statues, sculptures, and
other public works of art. With the same goal in mind—”to try to create
an emotional response through flowers”
Update ...
When I was kid, eons ago, the fact the my birthday was two weeks before Christmas, necessitated waiting till Christmas for the one gift for both. At the time it was presented as fact, so I didn't expect anything different. The custom carried on long after I realized it might not be totally normal? But, I was in a generation where most of us weren't raised to feel entitled? As an adult I let my protest come in the form of not decorating for Christmas until December 12th. Didn't hurt anyone but me?
But, now on December 7th, I am getting out my trusty little tree that I love so much. More small goodies to come. Making progress at 80?

Just wonderful. I like how you divided the piece into thirds. You do have an eye for catching the normal and making it special. :-0
PS…..I love the Charlie Brown tree and your story about your birthday and Christmas. :-)
What a wonderful idea to arrange such beautiful flowers in Trash cans. I imagine many smiling faces from people passing by.
Here we use to have our Christmas tree decorated only on December 24th when we celebrate in the evening. Of course we decorate the house with an Advent wreath, branches of cherry trees which are supposed to start blooming on Christmas Eve, candles, stars and many other little things. When my children were little this was a really special and wonderful time for me.
Thank you, John. I took the photo outside of Orly's probably a decade ago?
Ah thanks John, it is silly to let affect me almost eighty years later, but we humans are weird, right. Thanks for your understanding.
Thank you, Elenor. Your beautiful birthday card arrived safely today and I so appreciate your kindness. I will use your beautiful snow shots in tomorrow's blog. Thank you, you saved me again!
