A lovely group of 16 people have come together to help on the allotment and get involved with our art activities.
Stuart and I wanted to give them a gift which would make them go "Ahh..thats nice" but not be too expensive. Something which would show that we had given it thought 'cause after all "It's the thought that counts"
We talked about how nice it is when one of the young people makes an origami object and gives it to us. Its an expression of their talent and worth more than something they could buy.
What we are going to do

Fill them with wild flower seeds and then hide them around the allotment when the group are next there. If anybody finds one they can keep it and throw it into a piece of neglected land. Wild flowers take about 1-2 years to pop up but they love derelict neglected spaces. Guerilla gardeners have been using seed bombs since the 1970s to cultivate land which they can't get to because its unsafe or out of bounds.

Giving Idea 2-Little stories of giving
The William's family decided that they would bring a gift to the group session which we could all share and enjoy. Sam made a tray of flapjack which the family brought along to the session. At the break time everybody enjoyed a piece. Zack and Angel said that it made them happy and went to thanks Sam.
