Dandelion

Garland has a special place for individuals who can use it to build their networks and help evolve the platform as a space for creative dialogue in the wider world.

The concept of dandelion is inspired by Param Sendai, a group in Japan that sought to reach out to a minority Korean community. It used the image of a young woman holding up the dandelion to catch the wind, representing small groups that are often short-lived, but whose members go on to form groups of their own.
