Learning Drop-in event and film screening
Garden Drop-in: London Climate Action Week
Explore the museum’s Dame Sylvia Crowe Garden, learn to do pollinator counts and wildlife observation with the Energy Garden team and enjoy a special screening of the documentary ‘Six Inches of Soil’.
What to expect
This drop-in garden session invites you to join our volunteers in the Dame Sylvia Crowe Garden for a very special open afternoon, in celebration of London Climate Action Week.
This event is inspired by our upcoming exhibition More than Human, bringing together art, science and radical thinking to ask how design can help our planet thrive by shifting its focus beyond human needs.
Join us for a guided exploration of the garden and its design-based learning projects; learn the methodology to run pollinator counts in your garden and conduct wildlife observation with our friends from the Energy Garden; we will also be screening the documentary ‘Six Inches of Soil’, the inspiring story of British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, benefit our health and provide for local communities.
Schedule:
14:00 Walkshop: discover the exciting projects taking place in the garden
14:20 Pollinator Count Workshop with the Energy Garden team
15:20 Screening of ‘Six Inches of Soil’ (96 minutes)
