2009, Community Based Event

The Imagined Winter Garden Trail was a collaboration between myself and the local residents & vegetable growers of Sharrow in Sheffield. Following a research period as artist in residence with Grow Sheffields, Community Growers Project, I worked with five local growers to create interventions, installations and performances, which formed the backbone of the trail and was shown to the public for one afternoon only on Saturday 12th December 2009 in Sharrow, Sheffield, it was a chance to see the gardens and growing spaces of Sharrow in a new light, it played with the unused & neglected spaces in our neighbourhood and shared the visions, achievements and memories of some of Sharrows Growers. It was a sunny winter day and over one hundred people turned up and took part in the trail.
