Seeing Green Wednesdays

Creatively connect with nature through plants, and all things green.

A series of creative workshops and hands-on making and doing sessions that explore the symbiotic relationship of all of the natural world – humans, creatures, plants, land and earth, as a radical act of gardening and growing together.  

Work towards co-creating a new horticultural installation at the Grow Feral micro-garden in the Italian Gardens with environmental artist Jo Lathwood, and local artists and horticulturalists.
