Good afternoon! You are invited to participate in the 'Stirchley Thought Exchange' on Saturday 5th June. There will be a range of activities that will run between 11am - 4pm:   People, Plants and Places: Add you name and favourite plant (and why) to a mini-flag and pop it on the Birmingham map - so we can trace people's favourites...   Say it with Flowers: You will be invited to contribute to the garden of thoughts...   Plant thought exchange: Plants rescued from Stirchley's derelict sites will be given back to the community - come and take a plant and its story - information on where it has come from and where it would like to live, but be quick, there are around 40 plants looking for new homes, and they're sure to be popular!   Plant Poetry board: Feel inspired by the plants and their stories? Contribute to the plant poetry board...   Plant quiz: Take a quiz sheet and try your hand at identifying parts of Stirchley by its plant life... there might be a prize in it! So be sure to enter...   There will also be a children's craft workshop held at Stirchley Library on Thursday 3rd June from 2pm until 3pm under the 'Say it with Flowers' theme.   For more information on the Thought Exchange project please see my blog: http://www.stirchleythoughtexchange.blogspot.com/ I hope to see you on either Thursday 3rd or Saturday 5th June   Thanks,   Roxie Collins Artist

Thank you!
"Thank you to all of you who came along and either stopped for a chat to see what was going on, or shared your thoughts in exchange for a plant and its story. I'm yet to unpack everything but am very much looking forward to making a nice cup of tea and reading through all your comments and memories."

I thought this was really good,nice to talk to strangers about stirchley and how it had changed.
 All the family went along and we enjoyed planting our new plants.
