The plant craze that gripped the nation towards the middle of last year’s ECQ was a pleasant surprise for many of us. In the confines of our homes, we rediscovered our love for the natural world, particularly for plants; and with this “plant fever” a new subspecies of passionate hobbyists emerged: the Plantitos and Plantitas. Suddenly, it was fashionable for people to grow plants, and even more so, to engage in the lucrative buying and selling that caught the imagination of the nation. Combining their expertise in the visual arts and the delicate art of plant husbandry in Plantitos y Plantitas, Art Lounge Manila and Arid and Aroids present a unique art-and-plant exhibition where the gallery is not just a curated art gallery, but an indoor landscaped garden inside The Podium Mall!
