Tree Leaves at Rowntree Park Cafe #2

Fab trees and leaves from the Rowntree Park Cafe workshop

Our final #TreeLeaves workshop took place during the York Festival of Ideas in Rowntree Park Cafe.  We had a great turnout and it was also an opportunity to pick up some of the trees and leaves that had been left for the project.

Our youngest participant...

 Everyone was very busy, chatting, knitting & stitching...


making fantastic trees and leaves as you can see from the pic at the start.  Anna had the idea to applique some owls on her trees...

Aren't they all great! Thanks to everyone for joining in and thanks to Rowntree Park Cafe for looking after us! 

And you still have time to join in.  Finished trees and leaves have to be with Rowntree Park Cafe or the Trafalgar Bay pub by Saturday 22 June 2019. Full details here.

The Tree Leaves Yarnstorm goes up in Rowntree Park on Wednesday 24 July 2019 (weather permitting) and will be up until the end of August.  Sales of the trees in aid of the Woodland Trust will take place in September - more details on that later.

    1. Thanks for your lovely comments! The installation will be in place in plenty of time for Yorkshire Day so you could celebrate Yorkshire Day by walking through the #TreeLeaves #urbanforest in Rowntree Park, York.
