In the midst of the global pandemic, home gardening has been having a moment. On Saturday, December 12, seasoned and novice green thumbs in the UAE will get a chance to come together for community event Down to Earth at Dubai’s Jameel Arts Centre.
Taking place outdoors in Jameel Arts Centre’s gardens and Jaddaf Waterfront Sculpture Park
, the event will include gardening workshops for children and adults, expert talks on sustainability and ecology and a green bazaar with items from 16 local businesses.
“We’re no strangers to the green space,” says Lana Shamma, head of programming at the centre, referring to its numerous garden spaces and park, as well as its Artist’s Garden commissions programme. “We wanted to broaden our programme a little bit. For us, it’s really important to bring those threads together in a way that brings public programming, education and something outdoors, to bring people to get together safely.”
