Greening Stoke

Picture
​Early in 2019 we launched ‘Greening Stoke’ a project to transform the town centre of Stoke with quirky displays of flowers and plants created and installed by the people who live and work in the town, supported by the Big Lottery Fund.

Greening Stoke got groups and individuals involved in planning and shaping ideas for planting, upcycling containers, choosing locations and which seeds to plant to bring vibrant colour and fresh green foliage around the streets of Stoke.

Flower and fruit seeds were planted in and containers made from upcycled objects such as colanders, handbags or old car wheels, and secured on walls and alongside doorways and open spaces around the town. 

During the summer workshops were run in different venues showing people how to create outdoor containers for plants using discarded and found objects e.g. colanders, handbags, food cans, old tyres, etc. learn about seeds, planting and nurturing learn how to fix displays in appropriate and safe ways, including gaining relevant permissions.
Lots of local people, schools, groups, individuals, small businesses got involved and some made their own planters too!
