SATURDAY 27th SEPTEMBER 1 – 2pm
Does a bee choose which flower to visit, or does the flower choose its preferred pollinator?
Why do plants produce flowers with different colours, patterns and aromas?
Do roots have relationships with other species too?
Join us in this unique workshop where gardening becomes practice of connection, care and relationship!
CALLING ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS!
Edinburgh Libraries have launched a photography competition celebrating gardening and the city’s parks, gardens and green spaces.
The ‘Unearthed Edinburgh’ theme recognises both the city’s wonderful green spaces and gardening as forces for creativity, resilience and connection. We welcome photos which celebrate any green space in the city, from the Meadows to your window box!
The competition is free to enter and open to all.
All entries must be submitted via Edinburgh Collected (www.edinburghcollected.org) where they will become part of a community archive of Edinburgh memories.
Tell us in the accompanying description what makes the picture special to you and remember to add the tag “unearthed”. Entries will be judged on both their photographic merit and on the accompanying text.
There are fantastic prizes to be won! Enter for a chance to win:
1st prize – £100 book token
2nd prize – £50 book token
3rd prize – £25 book token.
The competition runs until 31 July 2025.
Make sure to read the Unearthed Edinburgh competition guidelines and terms and conditions – https://zurl.co/BvAtt – or if you have any queries, contact informationdigital@edinburgh.gov.uk
This competition is part of a wider project in collaboration with the British Library and the Living Knowledge Network of libraries on the theme of Unearthed: The Power of Gardening.
