In our hands

In our hands

It's not often you get a cup of tea, biscuits and a free plant to take away at a PV, but this was a morning one, in the open air outside St Peter's Church, for the inveiling of 'Brightons' only living sculpture' 'In our hands' by Harry Potter illustrator Cliff Wright and environmental artist Kathryn Jordon. It's a head and hand emerging from the grass covered in one of my favourite plants, the House Leek (Sempervivum). I missed the speeches, but we were entertained by a balloon man and the Silver Sounds samba band, starring Clarion member Sheila Schaffer. It was commissioned by Brighton and Hove's Eco-City in Bloom.
