28/07/18 - 09:00If you’ve ever visited The Chimney House, or even walked past and peered through our windows, you’ll probably know one thing about us. We are home to a magnificent assembly of plant life! Our leafy collection is abundant and varied, adorning window sills, shelves, floorspace, tables and growing by the week. Plants are proven to increase creativity, productivity and well being, so as a creative bunch ourselves we like to surround ourselves with lots of leafy goodness!
Join us for PLANT, a wonderful day dedicated to all things rich and green part of our well-being & soul nourishing series of events. The concept grew organically after researching local botanical life for our rooftop garden at our new lifestyle venue - The Mowbray. With a beautiful and extensive list of naturally occurring plant life around Kelham Island & Neepsend, we were full of idea’s and ready to share them, with you!
