Imagine a garden where the most magical seeds can grow!

An exhibition that will seed ideas and grow imaginations. In partnership with four primary schools, Michelle and Leanne will explore the notion of seeds and that planting any idea can cultivate artworks and nurture writings.

Coming soon to Hucknall, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Mansfield Central Libraries

Saturday 12 July - Sunday 7 September 2025

Look out for a FREE workshop with Michelle and Leanne coming to Inspire Libraries in summer 2025!
