If you’re a potential community grower or landowner and need inspiration about how to develop your land then go along to Tŷ Pawb on Monday, 20 March and meet representatives from Wrexham’s growing community.

The “Our Growing Community” festival is taking place between 1pm and 4pm to complement the current Horizon Garden exhibition and coincides with the spring equinox. Local groups and environmentally engaged artists will be showcasing their successes through imagery about what they’ve achieved and to share their experiences.

Itinerary for “Our Growing Community”

1pm – 1.15pm – Arrival & Welcome ­Refreshments and chance to see the exhibition and posters, welcome from Jo Marsh (Tŷ Pawb) and Jayne Rodgers (Climate Change and Decarbonisation Team). All sessions will be live drawn by artist David Setter (Doodle Planet). Useful Art Space & Gallery.

1.15pm – 1.35pm – Tracy Simpson – Addo Creative, Marja Bonada – Artist & Connor Wood – KIM Inspire
Creative Carpark (Tŷ Pawb rooftop Garden) documentary screening with Q&A. Followed by walking as a group up to see the rooftop garden.

1.40pm – 2.35pm – Morag Colquhoun, Artist
An outdoor demonstration in which we will convert wood chips and plants into biochar by burning them without oxygen in a portable kiln. We will use the excess heat produced by the kiln to cook ourselves some warming vegetable soup while we monitor the flames carefully before quenching the burn with water. The resulting biochar can be mixed into the garden’s compost as required. Tending the kiln will give us time to chat about biochar and related themes in the roof top garden. Please dress for the weather! Rooftop Garden.
