It’s Stirchley Thought Exchange on Pershore Road on Saturday 5th June. There will be a range of activities that will run between 11am – 4pm, including:
People, Plants and Places:
Add you name and favourite plant (and why) to a mini-flag and pop it
on the Birmingham map – so we can trace people’s favourites…Say it with Flowers:
You will be invited to contribute to the garden of thoughts…Plant thought exchange:
Plants rescued from Stirchley’s derelict sites will be given back to
the community – come and take a plant and its story – information on
where it has come from and where it would like to live, but be quick,
there are around 40 plants looking for new homes, and they’re sure to
be popular!Plant Poetry board:
Feel inspired by the plants and their stories? Contribute to the plant
poetry board…Plant quiz:
Take a quiz sheet and try your hand at identifying parts of Stirchley
by its plant life… there might be a prize in it! So be sure to
enter…

I attended this event and really loved it. What a great idea to rescue abandonned plants so that they grow on elsewhere in Stirchley.
I’d really like to make contact with the artist as I wondered whether she plans to do the event again and whether she might be interested in doing some work with our local primary school. Could you pass on my email address to her.
Thanks
