Young Barbican: Conservatory Sunday

Ahead of our Conservatory renewal, spend a Sunday afternoon exploring its plants.

Wayward Plants host a plant adoption session, sharing the stories and care needs of a wide range of specimens, which they have been propagating. While you're there, you can also visit the host plants from which cuttings have been taken and then take a plant to continue growing at home.

Earth Tenders lead drop-in sessions exploring memory, culture and healing through herbs with food and herbal collages and a sensory tea-blending station, designed to engage your senses and encourage reflection.

Artist and educator Lydia Boehm leads a drop-in botanical drawing workshop, inviting you to observe the leaves and vines around the Conservatory and create a drawing to take home. Before you go, add a leaf or vine to the community wall, growing something bigger together.
