Garden Times
June 8, 2025

Drawing workshop as part of
Volle Blüte – Literarische Spaziergänge
at the Botanical Garden in Vienna

Garden Times is a series of “Drawing and Reading Clubs” held in various gardens, urban landscapes and art spaces related to nature. The focus is on communicating biodiversity through artistic approaches and defining the garden as a space, atmosphere and way of thinking. In the Drawing Clubs, drawing becomes an immediate poetic gesture that involves the cultivation of a deep-seated awareness of plant life and approaches interrelational habitats. Garden Times is an investigation into the potential of the garden to influence our perception and extend it towards plants and other more-than-human actors.

Workshop hours: 11–15 o’clock

After a whole year of following plants and their seasons in a series of ten workshops we held at SOHO Studios in 2024, and a short, but necessary winter break, we are beginning 2025 with an announcement of a visit
to a garden.

Meanwhile, you can find us in the roots, moss, and tree canopies, or visiting the birds, but we also receive letters and emails – feel free to use the contact form and get in touch whatever the season.

THE MÉTIER OF BLOSSOMING

“One morning–and so soon!–the first flower
has opened when you wake. Or you catch it poised
in a single, brief
moment of hesitation.
Next day, another,
shy at first like a foal,
even a third, a fourth,
carried triumphantly at the summit
of those strong columns, and each
a Juno, calm in brilliance,
a maiden giantess in modest splendor.”

― Denise Levertov
