Hello
The SHED Space project may be of interest to you. On the afternoon 24th July, 3,000 people will take part in a trail around the centre of Stratford. The trail will take the form of 14 Sheds (traditional B&Q wooden ones), each designed and animated by a local arts company/ organisation. Some sheds will be storytelling sheds, others selling local food and some will be art pieces.
CREATE will have the only indoor shed and it will be placed inside the theatre royal stratford east in the main auditorium

We would like this shed to be transformed into – a SHED. With pot plants, old garden tools, seeds, an honesty box for people who would like to buy locally grown produce. We would like the shed to look used, loved and full of locally grown produce and character!
So we need some help – I’m looking to source the produce and materials for the installation. Also we would like to credit these projects so the audience members can be more aware of these fantastic local projects. I’ve been thinking about mapping these projects digitally through our marketing tools or through printouts or creating handouts.
Would this be something growing communities would be interested in?
It would be great to get you on board. Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks

Hi there Katie, I have forwarded on your message to Growing Communities, hopefully someone there has some free hands that weekend! It sounds like a great project, best of luck with it.
