The Vegetable Growers

The Vegetable Growers exhibited this April from a functional self-seeding polytunnel at the Hidden Veg, one of PROPAGATE’s micro-market gardens and project spaces. This exhibition was curated by Emily @ We Agree On Eggs who assembled local artists’ work concerning vegetables, and the need for more growers. Contributors include; Amy Marletta, Pamela Grace, Emily Tough, Fiona Marsh, Anne Knott, Alison Bixler, Kirsty Turpie, Hope London, Jo-Regrow, Sarah McCusker, Morag Paterson, as well community workshop paintings.

The exhibition spanned a weekend, with the first day being accompanied by a No-Dig soil health workshop.

“When one takes the time to slow down and connect with the land, in the way that vegetable growing does, you become so much more harmonious to your surroundings, you exercise and your body becomes tired from working, like really satisfyingly exhausted. And of course, the nutritional value of eating freshly grown produce is so good for us, as well as the love and triumph that comes with growing your own.”
