Launched in 2011 by nurserymen Mark Straver & Robin Wallis, Hortus Loci is a unique breed of plant nursery. Our aim is to supply the best plants possible. To achieve this, we propagate 80% of plants on site. We source other plants as liners, plugs or Jumbo Plugs from leading specialist growers in the UK, then tailor our husbandry techniques to meet the needs of all the plants we grow. While most UK suppliers offer perennials in 2-litre pots, we grow them on into 3-litre containers or even taller long-toms for deeper-rooting species – minimising stress throughout the growing season. In addition, most UK plant suppliers choose two (or maybe three) different composts, whereas we’ve developed six separate formulations to meet our plants’ individual needs.

At Dark Matter Labs, we view the interconnected crises of our time as symptoms of a deeper, structural miscoding of our economic systems. We understand these codes to be physical (e.g. biodiversity, energy, labour and materials), structural (e.g. money creation, embedded inequality and private property rights) and psychological (e.g. failure of the imagination).

Recognising the complex, entangled reality of living systems, we are exploring alternative pathways for organising society and stewarding the shared planetary commons. Our working hypothesis is that these pathways must be rooted in a radical reframing of our relationship to everything; from technology and money to land and the other-than-human world. We are framing this transformation as a shift towards Life-Ennobling Economies.

ePlant’s veteran engineers and scientists have a passion for unlocking insights by developing state-of-the-art sensing platforms. They founded ePlant to revolutionize the way plant data are collected, understood, and applied at scale. The ePlant TreeTag system is the first realisation of that vision. ePlant TreeTags not only monitors plants, they turn them into environmental sensors. Real-time data are fed to the cloud where it is organised, stored, and analysed. These data support applications in agriculture, arboriculture, forestry, government, risk management, and consumer spaces.
