Medieval Gardening
Tickets
The Aromathèque evening about Medieval gardening will teach you some proper lessons about gardening. Together with Garden Architect Joost Emmerik, we will learn about the garden as a sacred space and in the end will provide you with some actual helpful gardening tips from the ages of darkness.
Every month olfactory artist Frank Bloem curates a program where experts, artists, designers and scientists shift our perspectives on what we eat, drink, touch, inhale, secrete and smell. These so called "lower senses" are not only placed lower in our body but also were considered through history as lesser, more banal and not sophisticated. We think differently. Starting from a simple theme with a thought provoking question, we go on a journey and inviting people from different disciplines to discover the world that lies behind everyday phenomena.Frank Bloem

With: Frank BloemJoost Emmerik
Joost Emmerik is a garden and landscape architect. Joost searches for a serene simplicity, combining clear lines, robust materials and luscious planting into places that grow more exuberant over time.
A firm belief in the evoking power of gardens and a need for them in this day and age form the basis of his work. The garden as a world in itself, equal to the house. The garden as a room, not belonging to mankind, but to nature.
Joost is head of the Master’s programme in Landscape Architecture at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture, is a visiting lecturer at Technical University Delft and the Academy of Architecture Rotterdam and is a member of the Talent Building Committee of the Creative Industries Fund.
