Project overview: encourage those isolated by Covid-19 to nurture a plant, to support their own mental health and contribute to a carbon-neutral planet.
This project completed in summer 2022, and we have been debating how to convert the materials into something more lasting ever since! It could become an annual journal or calendar, or some other physical resource. The website will be closed down at the end of 2024, as the CIC dissolves.
Our latest project started as a seed of an idea and is slowly blossoming into something that we can share with people.
As you can imagine it is all about growing plants, whether that's a herb in a pot on your kitchen shelf, a splash of colour in your window box, or a sapling in a wider space that will grow into a full-size tree. You can grow it for food, for show, as a tribute (a 'leafy legacy') or just to test whether they really do grow better when you talk to them!
We built a separate website in 2021 for this:
and highlighted a particular theme each month. The supporting information for each of these is provided on the sub-pages here.
