Queer gardening sessions

23.02.2025, 14:00 — 18:00 

Organised by Eline De Clercq, MORPHO, Kunsthal Extra City

On Sunday, February 23 from 2 to 6 PM artist Eline De Clercq will host the first of a series of Queer Gardening Sessions as part of her research residency at MORPHO vzw. Through these sessions, she will gradually bid farewell to Gesamthof, a trans and lesbian garden that will cease to exist as it is being repurposed. The wildflowers and plants from the garden will be distributed to the queer community to find a new home in other gardens. From January to October, various Sunday gardening sessions are planned for repotting and sharing plants. This activity is aimed at the LGBTQIA+ community.

As part of the sessions, there will be a free guided tour (approximately 45 minutes) of the garden. During the tour, you will learn more about the plants and their ecological value. The tour starts at 3:00 PM and is free of charge.

Agenda for February 23:
"Some of the trees and shrubs can go, and we can start to dig up early flowers: snowdrops, hellebore, violets, wild garlic, forget-me-not... early winter flowering plants.."
