Our green friends

In this interactive workshop, we will explore how plants from lush rainforests, hot deserts, and dry steppes found their way into our living rooms. Where do popular houseplants such as the African violet or the weeping fig originally come from, and how did they travel around the world? We will learn what knowledge indigenous communities have preserved about the healing powers and significance of these plants, and why our green roommates are much more than just decoration. Finally, we will design our own little cactus.
