Stories From the garden
a celebration of seeds and life
On Saturday 3rd February, people gathered in the Skip Garden to celebrate seeds, new potentials and life. The day coincided with the re-opening of the Skip Garden and cafe after our Christmas and January hibernation. It also coincided with the celebration of Imbolc, the half way point between the winter solstice and spring equinox, which for thousands of years has celebrated hope, new life and new beginnings.
