Are you interested in working with natural materials and developing building skills on a live site?&nbsp; We are building three structures &amp; an amazing new habitat garden on a permanent site in the Kings Cross Development. Each of the structures champions a different natural, traditional craft and explores the value of regenerative design.&nbsp; With all our garden projects, like the Paper Garden most recently, we always involve the community in the build and this site is no different.&nbsp;Come join us at the #TriangleSite for an evening of learning new skills and practicing sustainable ways of building. Every Wednesday from March 12.&nbsp;

Join us for this extended session of Gardening Club in collaboration with London Sinfonietta which will be a unique opportunity to capture sounds of the garden in music. Composer Omri Kochavi and London Sinfonietta will join our gardeners to lead a workshop which will explore the natural sounds of gardening as well as intentionally using garden tools as percussion instruments. You do not need any prior musical knowledge to take part. The project will culminate in a unique piece of music to be performed in the garden later this year (September 14 - Save the date!) More about the Composer &amp; Project Omri Kochavi, is part of the London Sinfonietta <a href="https://londonsinfonietta.org.uk/new-music/writing-future" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 178, 169);">Writing the Future</a> programme. In this programme, composers propose a project that stretches their artistic vision. Omri’s new work is inspired by the Fiona Davison's An Almost Impossible Thing;&nbsp;he will bring to life the stories of early female professional gardeners. Designed for community garden spaces, the ensemble will feature instrumentalists, singers and on-stage gardeners, joining forces to celebrate the entangled lives of these exceptional women.&nbsp;&nbsp; Learn more about <a href="https://londonsinfonietta.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 178, 169);">London Sinfonietta</a>.
