Spring Seed and Plant Swap

Join the Growing Colour Together project to celebrate the arrival of spring with a seeds, seedlings and plug plants swap at Birkby & Fartown Library.

Learn more about how the community has been getting involved with Growing Colour Together, what they’ve been doing with appointed artists, Michaela Leayova and Cherry Styles, and how you can get involved with the project.

Michaela and Cherry will lead the session, and currently meet every other Tuesday (until 6 June) from 11-12.30 with S2R Gardening and Wellbeing group at Birkby and Fartown Library. They host creative garden-themed activity around zine making, creative writing, and natural dye processes, and together they will create an outcome for the WOVEN2023 festival.

The event is child, family and pet friendly, and refreshments will be provided. Book your place and tell your friends, spread the word!

Growing Colour Together is more than a project, it’s a MOVEMENT! And our ambition is to create a district-wide, natural-dye, colour garden! We want to give everyone the opportunity to ‘have a grow,’ use what’s grown to make natural dyes, and learn about the environmental implications of chemical dyes and what we buy. It’s an evolving project and we want people to join in with the areas that interest you to grow, make, create and debate, so this event is part of a series of talks, events and workshops to help you get started with your colour garden.
