Back in May, we collectively planted a variety of PPPotato-species during a Potato Growing Workshop. Now is the time for harvest!

President Allendelaan 1

In this workshop series we will collectively learn about polyculture and the life cycle of plants—from seed to sowing, to growth, and harvest. In May, we collectively planted a variety of PPPotato-species during a <a href="https://w139.nl/en/event/potato-growing-workshop-with-4siblings/" title="https://w139.nl/en/event/potato-growing-workshop-with-4siblings/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Potato Growing Workshop</a>. On the 25th of July, from 16.00 onwards, we will see what happened below the surface and harvest the grown potatoes.Polyculture, in opposition to monoculture, is a system of growing plants that are beneficial to each other and create a regenerative effect on the soil. We think of polyculture as a symbol of political practices of living together in community. In order to facilitate this thought process on the lifecycle of plants we will engage in an embodied personification exercise with all the elements that contribute to the life of our small garden.The workshop will be outdoors, so please wear closed shoes and bring a bottle of water. No experience with farming or performance is needed.Location: 4Siblings veld: President Allendelaan 1, Amsterdam (<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Four+Siblings+Land+Art/@52.3710481,4.8187887,290m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x47c5e33f38c89e8d:0x7603579db2b7af36!8m2!3d52.3710413!4d4.8189209!16s%2Fg%2F11n76g5rq3?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDYyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D" title="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Four+Siblings+Land+Art/@52.3710481,4.8187887,290m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x47c5e33f38c89e8d:0x7603579db2b7af36!8m2!3d52.3710413!4d4.8189209!16s%2Fg%2F11n76g5rq3?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDYyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Google Maps pin</a>)4Siblings is an artist collective and a community garden focusing on creating ecofeminist and queer connections to food and land.
