Calling all budding gardeners and plant enthusiasts!
n June 2025, artist Stephen Turner celebrated the Summer Solstice with the local community at the Exbury Egg by creating an outline of the Egg’s shadow at noon. This outline has become the boundary of a permanent physic garden. Plants and herbs added to the garden will become the focus for future solstice and equinox events and we would love for you to get involved.
Join Artist and Horticulturalist Ian Halawi at these friendly and relaxed sessions to take part in designing and creating the garden, including your ideas for which medicinal plants and herbs should be included.
The first session will take place on Wednesday 13th May from 1-4pm, then fortnightly on Thursdays (28th May, 11th June and so on).
Stephen Turner’s Exbury Egg, Finsley Gate Wharf, Burnley, BB11 2FG
Brews and biscuits are provided but feel free to bring a packed lunch if you are staying for the full session! There is also a pub serving food onsite.
