Weed Day is based in Taiwan run by two foraging artists. They are conscious of the current city landscapes and the ways in which humans interact with nature. They make weed tea among other everyday essentials with the foraged weeds. When foraging they choose the more dominant and invasive plants leaving more space for native species resulting in a more biodiverse environment.     To them, the weeds speak for the land. Tea is also a huge part of everyday life in Taiwan.
 
To them, weed tea is the start of the conversation to help people become aware of the environment and its diversity. Every time they make tea it is with a different combination of site-specific plants (usually more than 20 types of plants) thus for every tea they make they write the ingredients to show people the diverse amount of plants that surround us even within the city. They want people to understand that we all depend on microorganisms, insects, plants, and animals to continue to stay alive and healthy.    
 
Past projects have included calligraphy, installations, performances, community projects among others.   
 
The two of them believe that we all as humans need to become the protector of nature‘s biodiversity.
