Floating Gardens call for contribution: Conserving through growing of ancient seeds
Floating Gardens are committed to the in-situ conservation of non GMO seeds! Our community seed saving and growing practice embeds a living archive of botanical diversity in the ecological context of the site. This year, we are inviting individuals, seed networks and organisations to share ancient seeds and their stories with us, from crops, herbs and spontaneous flowers!
In autumn, the harvested seeds of these then grown plants will be shared with local horticultural communities and individuals to be planted again next year, promoting and multiplying the in-situ conservation of these valuable endangered species in urban spaces.

If you’d like to send us a choice of seeds and their stories, we look forward reading from you: gardens@floating-berlin.org
Yours, Floating Gardens (Lorene Blanche, Adriana Gahona)

Spuren des Wandels: Das “Tempelhofer Feld” 1945 bis heute
2pm-10pm
Der Floating e.V. lädt dazu ein, die Geschichte rund um den ehemaligen Flughafen Tempelhof im Kontext der Befreiung 1945 zu erkunden. Mit künstlerischen Angeboten wird den Spuren des Krieges nachgegangen, um dem Vergessen und der falschen Aneignung von Geschichte entgegenzuwirken.
The Floating Kidsuni invites children to explore the neighbourhood photographically and to create an exhibition together in which their discoveries are presented and discussed.
A Memory Walk through the Tempelhof suburb sheds light on the persecution of various groups and focuses on the former Columbia concentration camp.
The Office for Neighbourhood Networks, together with the Learnscapes programme for university cooperation at Floating University, is collecting reports from contemporary witnesses and collaging a map of memory. People from the neighbourhood are invited to contribute materials.
Visitors come together at a discursive dinner and share their experiences of the day.
The event will conclude with a film programme with further perspectives.
We want to remember in order to understand the present and draw strength for future democratic action.
You can find the full programme and further information here.
The programme is a cooperation with Kulturprojekte Berlin and takes place in the context of 80 Years of the End of the War
10.05.2025
3 – 6pm
In cooperation with VHS Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg
In this workshop, we will explore the unique ecosystem of the rainwater basin. We will exchange ideas on ecological practices used to strengthen local biodiversity, such as promoting natural plant alliances, supporting insect-friendly flora, and understanding the role of wild plants in ecosystem regeneration. We will kick off the gardening season with a collective sowing activity and conclude our gathering with a seed swap to help spread biodiversity throughout the city.
With Adriana Gahona Miranda.

Wir laden euch ein, Teil der WasserkostBar der Floating University zu werden. Die Floating University befindet sich in einem Regenwasserrückhaltebecken. Findet heraus, was eine „Schwammstadt“ ist und warum Berlin eine solche werden will. Wir werden auch einen Blick darauf werfen, woher unser Wasser kommt, wo es zu finden ist und was wir in das Wasser tun und warum. Wir werden gemeinsam verschiedene Wasser-Mixe erfinden, trinken und essen und wenn ihr zu Wasserexpert*innen geworden seid, werdet ihr eure eigenen Getränke für die WasserkostBar und für unsere Wasserbibliothek herstellen.
Diese können köstlich sein, zum Nachdenken anregen, schockieren oder lustig sein. Lasst Euch überraschen!
