Programme

A futuristic looking stack of growing cubes is stood in a ravine by a waterfall. It is lit up with a yellow and pink light and the space around it is lush with greenery. A large tree to the left is covered in moss and ivy. Two people stand with their backs towards the cube, looking at the light reflecting in the waterfall behind.

In 2022, Dandelion’s creative programme inspired a nation to Sow, Grow and Share. With Dandelion #AnythingGrows
