The Seed Project

In Partnership with Pollinate Barrie

Gardens are made in winter, a time to reflect, plan, and envision the growth of spring. This exhibition presents photographs from Growing Art: SEEDS, a community workshop where participants learned about regional native plants. Engaging with the aesthetic and botanical qualities of these seeds, they prepared them for spring and created ephemeral artworks captured through photography. Special thanks to Ashley Hammell / Pollinate Barrie.
