HAVE FUN IN THE GARDEN THIS SUMMER WITH THELITTLEGREENSCREEN THELITTLEGREENSCREEN, south-east London?s premiere popup documentary cinema, will be holding two free evening popup cinemas this summer at Grow Mayow Community Garden as part of their TREES AND TRASH 2012 event. Join us from 3pm on Sunday, 19th of August for pizza and a series of family friendly ?how to? permaculture workshops, including recycled seed pots and seed bomb making (visit www.thelittlegreenscreen.org/events.shtml for details). The first TREES AND TRASH event will conclude with a free adult evening screening of Audience Award winner 'Taking Root' (HotDocs 2008). 'Taking Root' tells the dramatic and inspirational story of Kenyan Wangari Maathai, the first environmentalist and first African Woman to win the Nobel Peace Price, whose simple act of planting trees grew into a nationwide movement to safeguard the environment, protect human rights, and defend democracy. You can watch the trailer here: www.takingrootfilm.com. We are pleased to announce that the film will be introduced by Francesca de Gasparis, the European director of the Green Belt Movement. Founded in 1977 by Professor Maathai, the Green Belt Movement has planted over 51 million trees in Kenya. "When we plant trees we plant the seeds of peace and hope." - Wangari Maathai The screening is free, but seating is limited, so reserve a space (or two or three) by dropping us a note at [email protected]. Free tree guard and tree whip (tree seedling) for the first 25 to book, and a free fox sedge in a recycled pot for all other booked seats. The screening starts at 7:30pm, but join us from 6pm for pizza, pimms and popcorn. This is the first of two free popup cinema?s being held by THELITTLEGREENSCREEN this summer. The second is TREES AND TRASH: GARBAGE WARRIOR, which will take place on Sunday, September 9th and will feature daytime family friendly workshops with local upcycling arts collective the Skip Sisters, followed by an evening screening of ?Garbage Warrior? with director Oliver Hodge. Both events are being held at Grow Mayow Community Garden Project, an accessible food growing and plant production Green Flag winning community garden and are linked to the 2012 Games with the theme 'Inspire a Generation for a Sustainable Future'. The garden is located in Mayow Park on Mayow Road (SE26 4JA).
