DON’T EAT WHAT SHOULD GROW – Mural

At MINITOPIA in Den Bosch stands the mural DON’T EAT WHAT SHOULD GROW. Various artists, including Dineke van Oosten, Nous Couteaux, and Marloes Verhofstadt, have combined their styles. Three little monkeys move among the paintings. The middle monkey holds up a sign with the text DON’T EAT WHAT SHOULD GROW—a call not to stop MINITOPIA now that it is really beginning to flourish. The work combines playfulness with a clear message: give growth time to develop.
