Walsham Flower Power

If you can knit or crochet and would you like to be part of a historical community event? The Flower Power Project is for you. A not-for-profit community of around 65 volunteers with wide age range (16 to 94), from the village and further afield. have joined together to create a knitted and crocheted textile tableaux of massed flowers which will be installed on wall of St Mary’s Churchyard all the way around from the Priory room onto The Street for the open gardens weekend. A fantasic sight to greet the visitors to the 2024 event as they leave the car park.

By February 2024 700 beautiful and diverse flowers had already been made. The goal is several thousand pieces. The group is working in collaboration with Walsham Open Gardens Weekend Committee.

There are no particular flower patterns to follow so volunteers to the group are free to select their own; any yarn or size and the brighter the better. The Facebook Group Page is “The Flower Power Project”. Local drop off points have been set up for contributions and a yarn donations/swaps. A series of social events will be held for volunteers.
