Who's Eating Who in the Garden?

Fiona MacDonald works with human and nonhuman beings as Feral Practice to create art projects and interdisciplinary events that develop ethical and imaginative relations across species boundaries.

Feral Practice

Uncover the wild food chain drama happening amid the trees! A free 'Discover and Draw' event with microscopes and expert naturalists.

Thornbury Community Orchard

Thornbury Community Orchard grows food for human people, but who else is snacking (and getting snacked on) amid the apples and pears?This and many other questions will be answered on a discovery walk around the community orchard and wildflower meadow site with brilliant nature communicator, an artist, and the magic of magnification. As we walk, we will be discovering and collecting minibeasts and wildflowers. We will take our finds back to base, where we can eat a packed lunch, look under the microscope, and draw pictures inspired by what we learn, and the magical micro world! With artist <a href="https://www.feralpractice.com/" title="https://www.feralpractice.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Feral Practice</a> and ecologist <a href="https://wildpace.co.uk/about-wildpace/" title="https://wildpace.co.uk/about-wildpace/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nick Hudson of Wildpace</a> Digital microscope, magnifying lenses, drawing materials, cold drinks and biscuits provided. Please bring your own picnic lunch. This event is part of Growing in Thornbury, a project by artist Feral Practice exploring local food in dialogue with Thornbury’s community groups. The artist has been sketching in the allotments, orchard and community woodland. From these drawings they are making a monumental painting of a lush productive garden, which will be installed on the wall of Thornbury's new Lidl store. This event is free, with a maximum of 30 places. Book to reserve your place (if arriving at 10) or just turn up. You can attend for all or part of the event if there is space.
