We Need Your Plants

Collage of Care

"Almost all of us, at a certain point of our lives, have planted a seed in the belly of a pot and waited patiently to see it sprout, grow, and eventually bloom. This simple experience which we may have been introduced as a school assignment or even a retirement hobby, gives us more than just a beautiful thing to look at. It embodies the patience for the result, the trust in the unknown, the perseverance of the trail, and the care for another soul. It involves skill and love, and the result is something beautiful, fruitful, and rewarding. That's why the pot may not just carry a plant, it may well carry a piece of each one of us. In our festival, we will be honoured and humbled to place these pieces of you on display in and around Brighton. It will be an exhibition of beauty and love, but more importantly a collage of care."  Marwa

Architect and Brighton Festival Guest Co-Director, Marwa Al-Sabouni, invites you to participate in this beautiful project by donating a plant 

So we want your plants!

We are looking for donations of indoor potted plants of all shapes and sizes, and ideally ones that are easy to look after.

We welcome you to lend or donate your plant to Brighton Dome for the duration of the festival, from 7th May- 25th May.

WHEN: Thursday 5th May from 4.00-7.00pm & Friday 6th May from 11am-1pm

Please make your way to the welcome desk at the West Gate entrance. You will need to fill out a short form describing your plant and give us your contact details.  You will also need to let us know whether you will be coming back to collect your plant at the end of the festival.
