| Gardens are the meeting place of [[:borrowed_scenery|vision]] and [[:on_gardeners|practice]], [[:urban_ikebana|beauty]] and [[:edible_gardening|edibility]], earth, water and air, human and plant… and so as reflected here the field of gardening and gardeners is correspondingly wide and diverse. From rooftops to greenhouses, seedballs to cities - almost all activities related to humans and plants can be seen to fall within the ambit of gardening at some stage. | Gardens are the meeting place of [[:borrowed_scenery|vision]] and [[:on_gardeners|practice]], [[:urban_ikebana|beauty]] and [[:edible_gardening|edibility]], earth, water and air, human and plant… and so as reflected here the field of gardening and gardeners is correspondingly wide and diverse.

| "Gardens encourage and accommodate a broad range of activities; in substance these have changed little through the centuries and are recorded in garden paintings from late medieval French manuscripts to Fragonard and Pater. Gardens are territories of play - both play as alternative to work or business and play as theater, make-believe, the whole gamut of role playing that is human life. Though this last is not obviously confined to gardens, it flourished there because gardens are special sites of artifice pretending to be nature; though if you were convinced a garden was wholly natural, you were tempted to think you could dispense with role playing."

| The [[http://fo.am/groworld/|groWorld initiative]] is FoAM's interstice between ecology, culture and technology. It brings together three "forces" capable of transforming the world on human and ecological scale: design, permaculture and technology. | The [[http://fo.am/groworld/|groWorld initiative]] is FoAM's interstice between ecology, culture and technology. It brings together three "forces" capable of transforming the world on human and ecological scale: design, permaculture and technology. In its current installment, groWorld explores interactions between plants and humans from multiple perspectives. It works towards minimising borders and maximising edges between the human-made and vegetal by entangling culture and cultivation {sym}, building and growing {bio} and nature and technology {sys}. |
