Stitching Gardens Together

Stitching Gardens Together is a workshop series centred around celebrating and protecting green spaces in our cities through connecting, making and gathering. Through creating a collective, compostable protest banner, we will learn from the stories of the earth at Morden Hall as well as across London, and express our care for the importance of maintaining and creating diverse, community-centred gardens and ecological spaces amongst the concrete streets.
