“This round of Operation Ivy League was being hosted by the Barbican Gallery as part of their “Radical Nature” programme. It seems our reputation as Space Hijackers preceded us. The gallery’s curator received a phone call from the Metropolitan Police warning them that this group of artists they’ve commissioned were “anti-establishment and likely to cause trouble”. The curator replied that this was exactly why they hired us.
The Sunday started with a trip to Columbia Road flower market in London’s East End to stock up on gardening supplies. We bought ivy, lavender and other chlorophyllic delights. Some gardener friends contributed seed bombs – Christmas baubles filled with soil and wildflower seeds.

After careful inspection of the assembled rabble queuing at the Barbican to accompany us, we found the majority of attendees were either Hijackers or associated parties. Legs itching for a ramble, we abandoned the “green enough” Barbican and moved into the City proper.
