Title: Foraged materials
Artist: N/A
Location: Wedding Wood, Greenhillock
Materials: Leaves, pinecones, sticks, blossom
Description: Grab a bucket and get foraging! Try to be selective, take only what you need and where possible try and use things which have fallen to the ground naturally. Where things are abundant its ok to pick them. Never pick wildflowers, things like daisies, dandelions and buttercups are ok if there are plenty of them, flowers from your garden may be ok but ask a grown-up first!
