Scintillating Sycamore Seeds: National Tree Week

Celebrate National Tree Week with some creative tree fun at Boojum & Snark, Sandown.

Using the ancient Japanese paper folding art of Origami, community artists Eccleston George will be on hand to see if you can recreate nature by making Sycamore helicopter seeds – out of a square sheet of paper.

Goodleaf Tree Climbing are sponsoring the event and will be there to top up your tree and seed knowledge. They’re bringing their Big Shot catapult along and, if the weather’s good, there’ll be the chance to launch your seed and see if it will fly in the way that nature intended!

Origami needs concentration & dexterity and is suitable for older children accompanied by an adult.

This fun and creative event is free and runs between 1 – 3 pm.
