The seeds of a vegetal culture are served to be tasted, heard, smelled, touched and experienced. The tables are lined with fragile but responsive tableware: singing sprouts, humming soil, algorithmic trees, a slowly morphing floral painting, an absurdist audiobook and a machine transforming physical humans into digital plants. There are small gifts next to each table setting: boxes of seedballs with seeds collected from local seed-saving groups, lovingly rolled and dried over weeks. A multitude of complex, contradictory concepts are chopped, mixed, boiled and roasted into vegetal dishes. The research is there to be savoured and digested rather than analysed and critiqued.

The facilitator divides the room into at least three workspaces and names them (we used three pots of herbs to visually distinguish the spaces: mint, oregano, and wormwood). If applicable, there can be workspaces outside of the main room. The facilitator draws up a scheduling board with time slots of approximately 30 minutes per workspace and invites participants to propose a topic and a format for a session. They then write it on a Post-It with their name and choose a time and a workspace. The format can be anything from a discussion to a walk or a prototyping session: whatever will engage others and help develop the idea further. The topic should help answer one of the three Vegetal Culture Open Space Questions: | The facilitator divides the room into at least three workspaces and names them (we used three pots of herbs to visually distinguish the spaces: mint, oregano, and wormwood).
