Join WildCity in the Eden Community Garden for the Big Art Picnic.
Bring a picnic, blanket, family and friends and spend a creative afternoon exploring sculpture, timelapse filmmaking and photography to construct a collaborative, interactive tubing installation inspired by the garden.
A free, accessible, creative event open to everyone.
Together – Naturally is part of a series of flower based workshops, talks and events aimed at bringing people together through flowers.
The Old Fire Station Gallery in Henley-on-Thames will be converted into a pop up Flower Studio with a beautiful selection of fresh, cut flowers and unusual vases, vessels and florists’ materials to arrange in.
Guests are invited to come and ‘play with the flowers’ in a friendly and informal, workshop environment under the guidance of an experienced floristry tutor.
This is a free event though there will be nominal charge for flowers / materials taken away.

“When Life Gives You Lemons, Make a Cocktail”. Following the renaissance of Gin, Cocktails are back! And one of their key ingredients, BITTERS, are enjoying renewed interest. At the same time “health gurus” are suggesting that re-introducing bitter herbs and foods into to our diets may be beneficial for gut health.
Come along to “THE HERB BOAT”, a narrowboat that roams the waterways of England which will be moored in Hackney Wick, and explore the history of Bitters through a small (it’s on a boat!) outdoor display. See and smell some of the unusual botanicals (herbs, spices, roots, barks and berries) used in their production and find out how you could make them yourself using plants in your garden.
Bunny, the owner of The Herb Boat will be on hand to demonstrate throughout the day. There will be a limited supply of BITTERS KITS available to buy at a Chelsea Fringe special price of £5. The kit contains a Bitters bottle and other equipment, and allows you to choose a selection of essential ingredients to take home and have a go yourself.

Paddington Central is delighted to announce its newest arrival, The Floating Meadow and Chill Garden – converting the boat named ‘Paddington Pioneer’ into a floating floral oasis adorned in wildflowers and grasses. The Floating Meadow offers a series of green-fingered pop ups, workshops and talks throughout spring, and is a must-visit urban sanctuary this season.
Clifton Nurseries, based in Little Venice, have decked the boat with a lively and vivacious display of seasonal plants. Docked on Grand Union Canal, local workers and residents will be inspired to sow, nurture and flourish their way through spring. Built with an elegant frameless structure, the installation offers the perfect instagrammable moment for evening strolls along the Grand Union Canal.
More information on The Floating Meadow and it’s various events can be found on the Paddington Central website – we look forward to seeing you soon!
