Planting: three animated films about gardens - Hannah Fields community garden

The PLANTING project commissioned three artists to make short animations in response to three 'gardens' in Derby - the Arboretum, Hannah Fields community garden, and Derbyshire Wildlife Trust's urban Green Corridor.

Artist Simon Hamlyn researched the heritage of Derby Arboretum - Britain's first public park: "In particular I have been fascinated by the industrial context that underpins the Arboretum, whose access was granted to the citizens of Derby in 1932 by Joseph Strutt. My hope is to create a film that moves between these contemporary and historical spaces – making a link between the two vastly different environments."

We're launching the films during Heritage Open Days - at Hannah Fields, and at Derby Arboretum, as part of Friends of Derby Arboretum's Community Garden Picnic.

Come and see the films and meet the artists: This event takes place at Hannah Fields; however, please see the separate listing for the event taking place at Derby Arborteum
