As some of you may know, the Art Organisation is putting on Space for Life – Big Green Weekend on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th February and are creating an open submission exhibition for artists working on the theme of the environment. Sprout have decided that this would be a great opportunity to get involved in and are looking for volunteers that would be interested in joining together to make a sculpture piece made from mixed media recycled materials and paper mache. We are open to your ideas and suggestions for the piece and will be working on it during next week If you would like to get involved please contact us as soon as you can.

We’re back at Nottingham Organic Gardener’s allotment this Saturday from 10am-2pm for the second of this year’s joint sessions at their Whitemoor allotment plot, Wilkinson Street, Whitemoor.
There are still a few places left on this Saturday’s session so if you’re aged 16-25 and interested in learning how to grow your own fruit and vegetables by assisting a team of very passionate and experienced gardeners on their plot, then get in touch to book your place!
The first of this year’s sessions was highly enjoyable and we planted sweet peas, potatoes, strawberries, broad beans, fruit trees, put up nets, helped build up the edge of the allotment using sticks and a old hedge.
Here are some photos from the last session:

After the hard work, it’s time for some well deserved lunch!
