PROJECTS: Woodend Community Garden
An ongoing growing project at Woodend as a collaboration between Blueberry Academy and Crescent Arts
The garden when we started
Crescent Arts are working with students from Blueberry Academy to maintain a series of raised beds outside the back of Woodend Creative Space.
The previously overlooked beds are now part of a blooming growing project. It was started in 2021 with students devising planting plans, creating art to decorate them and working with various artists to respond creativity to the plants and flowers.
In 2022 we received funding from The Scarborough District Children & Young People’s fund to build our project and have been working with artist and gardener Meg Woodward – Hay to learn and develop the gardens and culminate in an exhibition at Woodend Gallery in September 2022.
