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;

A 	Garden to Hold&nbsp;is an artistic and participatory project designed to support all those connected to the Story Garden as they navigate the grief surrounding the imminent closure of the space. Honouring the relationships across communities and species, A Garden to Hold aims to document the presence of those who have tended to, gathered in, and been touched by the garden, capturing the way the body feels and attunes to this space. Led by partner dance artist&nbsp;Alejandra&nbsp;Gissler over two days, the project will weave together improvised movement, deep listening, collective making and meal sharing as ways to collectively grieve and celebrate the life and legacy of the garden. A movement score will also be co-created and later shared in an public event, alongside other artistic responses to the Story Garden. The workshop is open to all ages 16+ and light refreshments (tea and cake) will be provided on both days.

Join us for a very special experience merging imagination, creativity and memory... In honour of our last summer in the Story Garden, artist <a href="https://www.maiamagoga.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Maia Magoga</a> and the Story Garden team invite you to co-create a film to remember the space by, capturing the spirit, stories, and final moments of the garden as a way of archiving its legacy.&nbsp;Together, we will creatively explore what the garden has meant to all the beings who have helped shape it over the years and collectively contribute to an artefact for future generations, to show them what we did, how we played, how we ate, how we gardened and how we came together as a community.&nbsp;&nbsp; This will be an intergenerational experience but please be aware that parents/guardians will need to accompany children under 8 years old and there may be times when the activities on offer aren't suitable for very young children, however there will always be things to keep little ones entertained!&nbsp;Please book the correct number of tickets for both adults and children. There are limited places available so if you can no longer make it, please let us know. A simple vegetarian lunch will be provided each day but you are also welcome to bring your own or an offering for the table.

Join us for an evening on the water getting to know and taking care of the herbs and plants growing on board our Floating Garden barge. These sessions run monthly as a space to share knowledge and stories as we plant, propagate and harvest together. All tools and equipment are provided as well as refreshments. Please note, this session is aimed at adults. Children and young people under 18 are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
