Woodlands Community
Workshop
Collaborators:
Woodlands Community
Project: BPOC Seedkeepers Club
From making growing containers, preparing the soil, planting seeds, pollinating plants, collecting seeds and designing seed packets to learning about why we save seeds, how plants can be adapted to the unique Glasgow weather, ancestral seed relations, and the current state of seed sovereignty.
The plants grown will be for windowsills only and plastic free. The plants grown will be varieties of chilli, tomato and bean.
This is a safe space for BPOC (Black People and People Of Colour) to welcome growing into your home. It is for people who might not have a connection to land for various reasons - perhaps feeling a lost connection to a land of home, maybe lost through many generations. As well as learning and doing, it is a space for having conversations with people who share similar losses, and for building community.
Set up over a decade ago as a community garden space in the west of Glasgow, Woodlands Community now runs a variety of spaces, programmes and events that bring people together to empower community action and foster a sense of belonging.
