In 1968, American poet Richard Brautigan executed a still quite creative proposal, in which he wrote a poetry collection about seeds and invited us to plant them, resulting in "Please Plant This Book." 
Brautigan penned eight botanical poems at the time and collected four types of flower seeds corresponding to the poems—marigolds, baby's breath, California poppies, and baby's breath royal carpet, as well as four vegetable seeds—lettuce, carrots, parsley, and small pumpkins. By combining poetry creation and design concepts, he "published" the seeds along with the eight poems and one set of planting instructions.
 
The creative cultural institution ,One Villain and 49 Horses’ recreated the Chinese version of “Please Plant This Book” following Brautigan’s original creative format. 
 
"Please Plant This Book" differs from typical poetry collections that use book pages to carry text. The eight botanical poems about flowers and vegetables are printed on eight seed packets, with planting instructions on the back, and the packets contain the respective seeds.
 
Plant Process:
Put the seeds into the water for 3 to 4 hours.
Transplant the seeds to a flowerpot, and cover seeds with soil.
In order to keep the soil wet, water one time each day, put the flowerpot under the sun for 2 to 4 hours each day.
Take care with patience, the seeds would germinate about 10 to 14 day.
