Allotment Social - Round two!

The second half of Green UPLIFT is now underway with calendars making their way to UPLIFTER’S as we speak! 


Taking advantage of the good weather we kicked off the second instalment of events with an allotment social, with an afternoon of gardening, crafts, live music and good grub!

Artist Emma Condor introduced us to Japanese crafts, Dorodango and Hapazome. These techniques saw UPLIFTERS make beautiful smooth mud balls and bash plants and leaves onto fabric, creating some beautiful results! Meanwhile, Ryan provided the soundtrack with some chilled acoustic sounds while we munched on chip butties! Perfect!

It was a really busy session in the glorious sunshine, and it was lovely to see some new faces! Also a big shout out to the ‘Helpful Heathens’, a community group who came down and helped us dig over our plot, ready for planting!  Thank you!
