| gardening and horticulture to promote physical and mental well-being. It's Hackney project, St Mary's garden, is a tranquil green space in Shoreditch used by a wide cross-section of the local community (and a lot of wildlife!).
Once a year, Thrive's users get together with other similar projects to display flowers and produce that they've grown in a celebration of their work. More than just a flower show, this is a day for everyone - music, food, massage... Entrance is free, so come along and sample a wheel-barrow full of good music and summer horticulturalnessness.
This year, the show is a part of the Shoreditch Festival (July 23 till August 22) and will be featuring natural art exhibits put together by local groups on the festival theme of Memories and Dreams. This will include The Shoreditch Shoe Show, which everyone is welcome to help grow on the day - just bring along an old pair of shoes for their last journey, and add your memories to the piece.
The Flower Show is happening on Friday July 23rd, 11.30am - 3.00pm, at St Mary's Garden, on the corner of Pearson Street & Appleby Street, London E2. We're providing upbeat and bongly music to help the day whizz by. So don your hot pants & knotted hankies, grab a glass of something fizzy and come along.
