14 June 2024 – 14 June 2025The Growing Project
The Growing Project is a transformative community programme using art making, gardening, cooking and simply being together as a way of offering support and friendship to people passing through difficult times. Our project partners include organisations who support vulnerably-housed people and those experiencing crisis.
Floating Garden
The Floating Garden is a canal-based gardening site that makes up part of the Growing Project. We created the Floating Garden in partnership with the Canal & River Trust to spread the positive benefits of The Growing Project out into the canal network and to use it as an engagement and learning tool with our various community groups and partners.

Creative Production
Since 2019 the Growing Project has partnered with Modern Clay, a co-operative clay studio in Digbeth run by artist members, which produces ceramics, runs public workshops, and designs bespoke projects with charitable organisations. Collaboratively with The Growing Project, Modern Clay developed clay-making workshops for participants, sharing the benefits of working creatively and enacting their belief that creative expression is vital to well-being.
