We gathered on a sunny day in July to celebrate the launch of the Mind Garden! Developed by artist @HarunMorrison and his collaborators in @SheffieldMind outdoor space. Enjoy these vibrant pics of the day captured by James Clarkson. More on our website! bit.ly/3QnYl5z
A group of people stand outside on a sunny summer’s day, some of them with sun hats on in an urban garden. They are tasting cool herbal drinks, yellow in colour, with samples laid on a table.
On a hot sunny day, artist Harun Morrison, a Black Man, works on a wooden garden planter, alongside a Black woman, planting new plants into the dark brown soil. They both wear baseball caps and t shirts and have watering cans to hand.
Artist and DJ, Ashley Holmes is DJing on some decks, outside in an urban garden. Ashley is a Black man wearing a beige t shirt and headphones and he is in shaded area of the garden with flats seen behind him.
Niamh Riordan is a white woman wearing a striped apron, and she spoons delicious sauces into a flatbread which is placed on a table outdoors on a sunny day. The flatbread also had grilled aubergine and halloumi and herbs inside.
