Wildflower Seed Workshop
DATE: 13 Sep, 2024TIME: 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM
Join artist Elaine Harrington for a free wildflower seed workshop and introduction to the Wilderland project.
Participants will learn about native wildflowers and their benefits for biodiversity, and how to collect and plant their seeds to create wildflower areas and help increase biodiversity where you live. We'll hear about some of the different uses for native plants and wildflowers in food and folk medicine, and as companion plants in the garden or allotment. And participants will be shown how to make a selection of simple origami seed envelopes so everyone can take home their own selection of wildflower seeds.
We’ll also hear about the Wilderland public art and climate action project, and how you can join its collaborative art and ecology projects over the next year. And we'll introduce the Flower Féilire project, a year-long plant collection project to produce a collaborative cyanotype artwork for Mayo's indigenous plant life, and how you and your community can get involved.
Everyone welcome.
FREE entry, no booking required.
