We had a busy March working with ladies from 2 groups, Upbeat Refugee Group and Knit and Knatter from the Women's Centre.
The work was used to decorate the community garden at the Spring Fest.
Well done to all the groups, they looked amazing!

Flowers @ St James Infants

We spent 5 weeks working at St James Infants with Year 2 children creating flowers for our installations on the park for our Arboretum Spring Fest.
Here are a few of the pictures 

Tea Party in the Park

Over the last few months we have worked with 4 groups to create an installation in the Orangery in the Arboretum Park.
We worked with residents from Affinity Sutton Housing, Anchor Fold Housing and young people from Madeley Youth Group and Peartree Youth Group making giant flower chandeliers.

The project culminated in a tea party for all involved on 20 March at the Arboretum Spring Fest event.

The installation will on be display until mid April.
Well done to everyone and we hope to continue working with them on future park events in the summer.
