Open Flower is a nonprofit pioneering the field of flower design, bridging biotechnology, art, and education.
We create original flower-based artworks with social impact while building open scientific tools that make plant genetic design accessible to students, researchers, and creators.
By sharing knowledge, resources, and imagination, Open Flower aims to inspire a new generation to see living organisms not just as subjects of study, but as a creative medium for expression and discovery.
We are a growing team and community of scientists and artists led by a board with a strong background in biotechnology, science communication, and creative directions.
