Hello Dandelion, my name is …
Join Hayley on a quest to communicate with local garden and pavement plants via pavement chalk writing and plant leaf mono-printing.
We will walk from Hoxton Trust Community Garden to Khadija’s Garden at PEER. Along the way we will be sharing identification, knowledge and stories of plants. Together we will identify and write to plants and trees with chalk. We will introduce ourselves to plants, develop conversations, and ask them the questions we have always wanted to ask.
Back at PEER we will be mono-printing parts of our conversations with collected fallen leaves. We will reflect on our dialogues from a plant’s perspective and discuss how this could change our human and non-human relationships in the future.
Suitable for all ages and no experience is required. All materials will be provided including paper - but please feel free to bring any old paper to print onto (old handwritten letters, notes, maps etc - pale pastel coloured paper works best).
Part of Art in the Garden, a series of six workshops taking place between July and August in Hoxton at Khadija’s and Hoxton Trust Community Gardens that celebrate being together outside and local gardens in the city! Learn more about your local environment, horticulture, how to be more resourceful and affordable art activities.
Saturday 28th August 11- 1pm: Starting at Hoxton Trust Community Garden and ending at Khadija’s Garden, PEER. FREE to attend – Register in advance via email: local@peeruk.org to reserve your place.
