At The Meadow's Edge

“Sometimes I wish I could photosynthesize so that just by being, just by shimmering at the meadow’s edge or floating lazily on a pond, I could be doing the work of the world while standing silent in the sun.”

~ From Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Sat 9 August - Sat 20 September 2025
In and around Croydon's green spaces

Join us for a summer of resting in the ecotone, a transitional space between habitats where plants, animals and landscapes meet. Rooted in themes of care and kinship, our summer programme invites you to lean into the connection we have with the earth and living beings around us.

Taking place across green spaces in Croydon during late summer. We’ll listen to plants and concrete, gather in dens, walk through familiar landscapes with new awareness & harness the power of the sun for making, through a series of events and workshops open to all.
