Let your creativity bloom during February half term with our free family activities inspired by The Plant That Stowed Away

Explore our free display The Plant That Stowed Away, then let your imagination blossom in our Learning Space with free activities designed by artist Hellen Songa. You'll learn about herbs and community gardens in Liverpool and create your own herbal dream pillow or herbal wand to take home. Make your own plant or flower and add it to our paper flower garden.

There will also be natural painting workshops on 20 and 21 February from 13.00-15.00. Create a painting inspired by nature using soil, natural dyes and plants.

Our Learning Space is open every day for visiting families- a space to relax and create with art games, colouring-in, books, toys and more!

Share your experience with us on social media using @tateliverpool and #TLfamilies.

Hellen Songa is a Rwandan-Zambian-British nature guide, land worker, socially engaged visual artist, creative producer, community activist and certified climate aware photographer currently based in northwest England.

Their practice is diverse and centered around community, land regeneration, food sovereignty, and natural lifestyles. Hellen has facilitated many nature connection opportunities in collaboration with community hubs and fellow artists, including wild foraging, herbal recipes, gardening, forest school, seasonal supper clubs, visual storytelling - to name a few. They are also extremely passionate about working with communities in the UK and Africa to create and share visual stories that offer solution perspectives to the global environmental and food related issues of our time.
