This workshop asks participants to contribute to a shared story and a growing artwork. Quite literally. We invite you to bring along a small cutting or specimen of a plant that means something to you and add it to the curiosity cabinet along with a short description that tells us about your connection with your plant - does it bring back memories of childhood? Does it connect you to a particular place, a person or a time in your history? Or is it simply a personal favourite? The collection will grow throughout the festival and thereafter plants will be shared with the local community.
