Stitching Gardens Together brings together two hands-on art workshops exploring practices of creating and protesting for gardens and green public spaces in London’s urban fabric. We will be building on Morden Hall’s industrial past and history of opening up its grounds for children and becoming a publicly accessible park for the people of London. Working with our hands we will be creating a collective protest banner to celebrate and ensure the protection and creation of gardens in London.
