Playbox Theatre and the Clean Planet Foundation have announced a joint project to create a Wildflower Garden at Playbox’s theatre, The Dream Factory, in Warwick.
The project will rewild a patch of land, often driven over and churned up, turning it into a haven for wildlife and wild plants to thrive for years to come. The process involved old bio-matter being removed in a non-toxic and sustainable way. Wildflower mix was then applied with plenty of yellow rattle for the spring, ready for late flowering that year.
Emily Quash, Artistic Director of Playbox Theatre said: “This is such an exciting development for our two companies, who share a passion for young people and for the world they are growing up in. We’ve always listened to our members, and have tried to reflect their hopes and their expectations, in terms of our theatre building, both inside and outside.”
Katerina Garyfalou of Clean Planet Foundation added: “At the Clean Planet Foundation, we are proud to support their mission of fostering creativity and artistic expression among young people while promoting sustainability and reducing the impact of the climate crisis. We are particularly excited about creating the wildflower garden together as it provides a valuable habitat for local wildlife and supports biodiversity.”
The Wildflower Garden reflects the importance of environmental care to many of the young people who attend Playbox Theatre, allowing them to be a part of the action plan. The Dream Factory and its young people demonstrate their determination to shape a better future.
