Join the Garden Department when they share their knowledge around gardening practices at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie during the upcoming ELIA event. Organised by the ETHO Core Group, the session frames gardening as a future-making practice within higher arts education and beyond.

Increasingly, art schools are integrating gardens into their technical ecosystems — not only as learning environments, but as places where materials are grown, tested, processed, and transformed.
