Plants in Space!

Our first email to attendees about EMF will be going out soon, but in the meantime, we’d like to announce the Greenhouse early, to give folks a chance to get their plants ready!

What is The Greenhouse?

Building on the success of 2024, the plant exchange is back - with a new name!

You are invited to once again bring small cuttings, offshoots, seedlings, bulbs or spare seeds for everyone to browse and select from to take home. There will be trays for keeping your plant contributions in during EMF.

Important: We’re really very sorry about this but, due to import/export regulations, DO NOT transport any plants or seeds into nor out of the UK - we hope our international visitors can take home some green-fingered inspiration and enthusiasm instead!

Exhibition Area

There will also be an exhibition area, where you can display small plant creations such as terrariums, and rockscapes (but no glass containers please!) with a suitable space vibe.

Note: If you are thinking of bringing a plant related installation which is microwave size or larger please submit it via the Installations Call for Participation page so we can find the best location for it.

Where is The Greenhouse?

The intergalactic growing pod will be located adjacent to the Lounge.

The practical details

For The Greenhouse to work, we both need you to bring plants & take them home with you.

Bring Containers

If you can bring your shares and swaps in small non-glass containers or pots, that would be ideal - but, if transport space is tight, pack your swaps in plastic bags as we will have some containers available.

Label Your Plants

Please label what you have brought (surprises are lovely, but it’s safest if everyone knows what is what).

Care for Your Plants During the Event

Don’t forget to check in regularly during the event to keep an eye on the hydration of any growing offerings you’ve brought.

Take Your Plants Home

Be prepared to take away your new plants (and any of your donations that haven’t been adopted) at the end of the event - so remember to save or bring clean(ish) plastic bags or pots.

You could also post your chosen cuttings into an empty water bottle to take home in your bags or rucksacks (you can cut open the bottle to extract them later).

Donations for the Greenhouse

If you’d like to make a donation to EMF funds in return for adopting a new plant, seedling, cutting or some seeds, that can be made at the shop during EMF - but this is not required.

Thank You!

We are so looking forward to welcoming everyone back to our little calm green piece of Space!
