The proposal introduces a ELIA webinar titled Gardening as a future making practice. It addresses a world in constant, unpredictable change, irreversibly impacted by human actions, in which we must adapt and learn how to better collaborate with non-human citizens to protect and regenerate our shared environment.

Gardening, though seemingly small, is presented as a radical, ecological act that helps us reconnect with nature. The webinar is organised around three pathways: Gardening as a practice, where gardening becomes a hands-on medium for engaging with ecology and sustainable art/design; The garden as a site of production, exploring rooftop gardens as living labs for process-based, temporal learning with organic materials; and The garden as a social space, highlighting gardens as sites of interaction among human and non-human communities. This webinar is hosted by the the working groups ETHO and Art and Ecology from ELIA
