We are delighted to announce our new project, Cultivate for the Coronation, supported and funded by Arts Council England in celebration of King Charles III's coronation on Saturday 6 May 2023.
Cultivate For The Coronation is an exciting new project taking place across our libraries, honouring our new King’s passion for the environment by encouraging communities to engage with the great outdoors this Spring and beyond. Multiple libraries around Nottinghamshire will take part in ‘Grow your own sunflower’; children will be able to decorate their own biodegradable plant pot, then plant their seed and watch it grow. A prize will be supplied for the tallest sunflower grown from the sessions, and our young gardeners can provide us with measurements and photographs until the closing date of 1 September 2023. Selected libraries will also offer a seed swap, where experienced gardeners and novices alike can exchange seeds and support each other in their growing endeavours! The activities provided are free of charge.
Grow your own sunflower activities are available at the libraries listed below.
