Phnom Penh ; Urban Jungle Bazaar: Plants & Green Living at F3

On March 14 and 15, 2026, Phnom Penh will take on the vibe of an urban jungle: the Plant & Lifestyle Bazaar sets up shop at F3 – Friends Futures Factory, right in the heart of the city, for two days entirely dedicated to plants, decor, and green living.

Conceived as much more than just a market, this event brings together indoor plant sellers, design object creators, and artisans in a space already recognized as one of the capital's most dynamic creative hubs. The goal is clear: show how to integrate nature into our interiors, from micro-studios to shared offices, while cultivating a warm and contemporary atmosphere.

An Urban Jungle at the Heart of F3

F3 – Friends Futures Factory, run by the NGO Friends International, has established itself in recent years as a hybrid space blending gallery, concept store, café, and creative project incubator. It hosts a stream of exhibitions, markets, festivals, and cultural events that give voice to a new generation of Cambodian artists and entrepreneurs.

The Plant & Lifestyle Bazaar fits naturally into this programming by turning F3 into a vegetal oasis: indoor plants, accessories, decor items, themed stands, and photo spots will create an immersive journey for all greenery lovers. Whether you're seeking an easy plant for beginners or a rarer species to enrich your collection, the exhibitors promise a selection that's as aesthetic as it is affordable.

Workshops, Skills, and Connections

Beyond shopping, the event also emphasizes sharing and transmission. Workshops will be offered to learn new skills, swap tips, and meet fellow plant enthusiasts. Repotting, maintenance advice tailored to Phnom Penh's climate, creating vegetal atmospheres, or small decor touches to breathe life into your living room: the weekend aims to be both educational and convivial.

These learning moments tap into a broader trend: around the world, indoor plants are becoming allies for well-being, visually refreshing spaces, inviting slowdown, and creating soothing atmospheres. In Phnom Penh, this green wave finds fertile ground in spots like F3, where designers, illustrators, artisans, and social economy players already converge.

Evenings with Burmese Puppets and Live Bands

Each day wraps up with an artistic program to extend the experience. On March 14, attendees can discover a show of traditional Burmese puppets, heir to an ancient art now considered fragile but still captivating for the finesse of its puppets, multiple strings, and stories drawn from Myanmar's myths.

On March 15, it's live energy with Miss Sarawan's band, already noted on various Phnom Penh stages for concerts blending modern sounds and regional influences. This mix of stage performances and vegetal universe promises an intimate yet festive end-of-day vibe, perfect for lingering after your last purchases.
