Start with a simple mechanism that invites

contributions from all ages and abilities:

Such as these identical small disks distributed in advance to

local households, GP surgeries, nurseries, community

centres – or via reading bags to schools, or at the event….

Blank seed packets allow

participants to describe their

favourite plants or imagined

ones, such as money trees!

Giant jigsaw puzzles are an

effective way to get

everyone collaborating. Pre-

cut blanks and paint are

distributed to local

communities and brought

back to the event completed

with an image to represent

their neighbourhood. Joining

the pieces together is an

event in itself.
