The Sunflower Project
Supporting Communities to creatively grow
The Sunflower Projects is supporting communities to grow large patches of sunflowers and to share creative interpretations of these symbols of hope. It is our intention to plant over 10,000 sunflowers in Cornwall this summer with the aim of connecting communities with nature, creativity and a sense of wellbeing.
Beautifully curated sunflower packs are being sent to 16 community groups ranging from a community allotment, memory cafe group and a rural school. Packs will contain everything to facilitate the groups to grow their sunflowers and will contain a range of creative activities to generously share what they will be nurturing. Creative interpretations and images of hope will be shared through newsletters, instagram and a public community painting day in late summer 2022.
Packs include the Sunflower Project Book, The Sunflower Project Poster, Seeds for a 2m x2m patch of flowers. They contain all the how too's and creative activities as well as a connection to regular newsletters connecting the growing communities across Cornwall. These are available for a £10- 35 pay as you can contribution. Send me an email to find out more.
The Sunflower Project has been running in Falmouth Secondary school in collaboration with Arts Lab. ( Play the video with the sound on)
