On Saturday the 31st of July, Hilary Cox Condron (in the centre, below) ran a 'Thrive' art workshop (on behalf of Transition Cambridge) at the garden. The workshop focused on exploring how we can 'thrive as a community', particularly how we can meet our needs as well as sustaining natural resources.
We discussed and drew out our visions of a future Cambridge, using the shape of our hands to represent the concept of 'Doughnut Economics'. This economic model focuses on the idea that humanity should be able to meet the needs of all and make sure that everyone has access to life essentials, without compromising the planet and our natural world.

Here are some pictures of the group's brilliant artwork:
To accompany the art, the page was also filled with words and quotes that relate to what us as individuals hope for Cambridge.
"Change, equality and happiness are connected."
"Shouldn't be exclusive — We should all have access to open space."
"Free bikes, growing gardens, scents."
"I want to live in a city where nothing is privately owned."
"Nature, drinkable river water, solar & wind power."
"Quality human rights, clean air, shared spaces."
"Free busses, bicycle-only areas, childcare."
"All schools should be 'art schools'."
"No food poverty."
"Love our teens (and listen to them)."
The workshop was definitely an amazing experience and everyone is welcome, so we do recommend looking out for any future events.
excellent work...
