Stories From the garden
Revisiting Global Generation’s History - 2019
This was a year of endings and new beginnings; in terms of the locations we operate from and the team of people delivering our projects. Here is a flavour of the year drawn from the rich selection of blogs that were posted over the last twelve months.
The Healing Power of Plants
One of the most enjoyable funding proposals I have worked on over the last year has been a successful application to the Heritage Lottery for a project we have called: Voices of the Earth. This is year-long project with the potential of extending into something much longer and larger in the future.
Reflecting on Seeds for A Better world
Reflections on the Seeds for a Better World project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, and the Seed Sisters’ incredible journey as they learnt about the tradition and significance of seed saving.
Revisiting Global Generation’s History - 2018
Global Generation was founded back in 2004, with the feeling that by combining the creativity of nature with the imaginations of children and young people, we would create magic. Now, 14 years later, we are grateful for all of the great ways that this has proved to be true in 2018, in the Skip Garden, The Paper Garden, and on our campsite at Pertwood Organic Farm in Wiltshire.
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.
