Join Papigion project in a gardening and repotting workshop for adults at the space of togetherness garden on the exhibition’s final day!

In this 1 hour and a half introductory gardening workshop, we will cover the basics of plant care, including the essential steps and best timing for successful transplanting. We’ll also discuss what soil mixtures are suitable for different plants and how to manage their maintenance and watering effectively.

Bring along one of your favorite plants with a pot up to 25 cm and learn how to care for it with expert tips. We’ll provide soil, transplant materials, and pots. However if you have a special pot at home, feel free to bring it. Transplant your plant and take it home, freshly cared for and ready to thrive!

Papigion project is an urban phytocentric-environmental initiative founded in Athens in 2021 by Achilleas Chariskos. Papigion is a project that seeks to offer a second chance to plants that have been ‘discarded’ and left abandoned on balconies and in gardens or that arrive at Papigion through an exchange process. The Papigion project aspires to give a ‘second chance to plants’ to find a new living place, continue telling their stories, and even write new ones via three main pillars – collection, care, and redistribution. Reuse, biophilia, and sustainability are central concepts in the Papigion project.

For space of togetherness Papigion project partnered with artist Maria Loizidou for the permanent installation Olga’s Garden. This installation will conclude with the permanent relocation of the garden and its transplantation to the grounds of the Drama School yard as a donation to the students.
