Plant workshop with Pop Plant

Ever walked into someone’s booming plant-filled home as you’re do-ing your best to try and keep your one and only plant alive on life support back home? You can turn those green eyes into green thumbs and come learn urban gardening from Maxi Walker of Pop Plant as a part of our Living not Decorating workshop series. Maxi spe-cialises in practical indoor plants for city dwellers and will be providing advice on what kinds of plants are best for homes of all shapes and sizes, while teaching you how to make your own string garden for your home.

Living not Decorating is a series of workshops, conversations and ideas presented by Assemble from the 30th of September until the 14th of October. Our workshops are inspired by well-lived and well-loved homes – they’re about living simply and happily by your own design and with others. It’s about practicality before aesthetics and learning new skills. It’s also a nod to our project at 393 Macaulay Rd, Kensington by the iconic architect Harry Norris, for stripping back on the embellishments of the Art Deco buildings of his era and opting for efficiency and simplicity with a ‘Streamline Moderne’ façade that we will be honouring, retaining and restoring.
