Living Skeletons

This enlightening photography exhibition showcases the champions of our ecosystem - Living Skeletons - the plant structures that throughout the colder months are wildlife oases in the urban environment.

Community gardens offer a huge amount to the people who care for them, from friendship to exercise, floral or edible rewards and indeed a few challenges. But an important part of their existence are the structures left behind from the past season’s flower crop that support pollinators through winter. Seed heads provide continued food for birds, whilst those uncut dried out skeletons provide shelter for hibernating insects which in themselves hold haunting beauty.

Photographer Felicity Crawshaw captured some of the community gardens in Waltham Forest for this exhibition as well as a few of the women who support them as part of International Women's Day 2022. A few of the portrait photographs will be included too.
