Houseplants are undergoing a revival not seen since the Sixties, but what lies ahead for the new millennial fascination with indoor-dwelling plants? We’ll be discussing the phenomenon, how it happened, and what trends lie ahead with some of the tastemakers who made it happen, and the horticulturalists who know these plants best. A must for anyone who’s lusted after a monstera.
This is the third in a series of three lectures looking at urban gardening for the new generation, curated by Alice Vincent (Author of How to Grow Stuff: Easy, no stress gardening for beginners, and writer for The Telegraph). Other talks in the series:
27th March
The Noughticulture Talks: Growing to eat in small spaces
