#HEARTyourtown - Kirklees Garden Stories in Dewsbury

Ammie Flexen and Kathleen Yore have been 'planting' more ceramic flowers in the garden at The Memorial Gardens in Dewsbury as part of the Kirklees Garden Stories project.

These displays of colourful clay flowers reflect how outdoor spaces, gardens and nature have been really important to many of us during lockdown. Ammie and Kathleen drew inspiration from garden models created by the public to develop this beautiful ceramic meadow, which will continue to grow throughout August. 300 children and their teachers took part in the project by making many of the clay flowers in their school bubbles.

You can see the mini gardens that influenced the project on the garden stories Facebook page www.facebook.com/Kirkleesgardenstories or on instagram www.instagram.com/kirkleesgardenstories.
