In 2011 we made an open call for finding interesting concepts for our Augmented Urban Garden. It was Natalia Borissovas Non-Green-Gardening project which was the most appealing one. Within the last months she was regularly onsite - developing and improving her concept of a Non-Green Garden at the Time's Up Labs. Together with Natalia and Dismas Leonard we are still maintaining a hybrid - green / nongreen-garden. Pros- and Cons of such a project in urban areas will be discussed during the event on 21st of October between 2 and 5PM. Apart from a presentation of the Augmented Urban garden and its background of the Resilients project, some anecdotes regarding our battles with slugs and other less welcome guests in our garden as well as some rave about delicious mushroom-dishes which have delighted our menu, await you. And - if we are lucky there is still a chance to enjoy some fruits the garden entails. Non Green Gardening / Augmented Urban Garden is part of Resilients. A project which is made possible with the support of the Culture programme of the European Union, the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture, Kulturland Oberösterreich and the City of Linz. Resilients fosters cultural resilience by blending diverse European traditions with emerging arts & technologies, strengthened through intercultural exchange of people, ideas & works. Resilients are cultural workers of all ages preparing for uncertain futures by studying & experimenting with new models of living & working as a form of artistic practice.
