Lisa sadly finished her summer-long artist's residency on the Nightingale Estate in Woolwich on Saturday. Over 4 months Lisa and a few guest Avant-Gardeners, worked with the community to host social gatherings and parties, ran t-shirt making workshops, created flowers out of recycled rubbish, grew plants and vegetables, shared gardening and cookery tips over the homemade food and cakes that the residents bought along, created a fanzine of collage and design and generally set about thinking how an urban community can have a positive impact on their immediate environment.
Avant-Gardening send out a great big 'thank you' to Seval and the team at Welcare and especially to the people of Nightingale themselves
