About Sowing Sneinton

Sowing Sneinton was formed by residents Suzannah Bedford and Donya Coward in May 2010.

​

Noticing the neglected spaces, flowerbeds and public spaces on the main roads into their neighbourhood they decided to act, rather than just wish someone to do something.

​

The pair decided against secret 'guerrilla gardening' and contacted the city council, who gave them their blessing, labour and funds to buy tools and plants.

​

In 2020 Kathryn Cooper, Michelle Chisholm and Selene Hinton took up the mantle of Sowing Sneinton and continue the good work today.
