Walled Gardens, Wildflower Meadow and Knitted Trees

Knitted Tree

Knitted Drainpipe and Flowers

Knitted Tree Monster

This morning I spent my time alongside artist Carys Hughes and her fellow Wednesday Woollies, attaching our beautiful knitted pieces to the trees of the Walled garden at Norton Priory. It was a lovely mornings work; stitching the knitted panels (from the Creative Runcorn Project) to the branches and trunks of the trees. The organic nature of the tree leant itself well to the knitting which curved and twisted its way round the natural structure. I hope that with time the knitting will become as much a part and feature of the garden as are the flowers and the bees. The knitting will remain in situe for one year at Norton Priory and will be documented on a monthly basis to see how nature responds to its new and woolly friend.
