Rob + Jesse + SB just got in from the .coop weekend 2026, it was so great, we are so tired!

Rob ran a paper-making workshop, we flogged some shirts and chatted with co-operators from across the UK about lots of interesting stuff: being a skint co-op, co-operation in nature, why NGOs won’t save us. Plus some 10/10 scran from icons

Workers of the world! Enjoy! 💐🌸🌷🌺🌹

A few pics from the first inks & dyes Rooted session, taken by botanical alchemist 🧙‍♀️🌸

We’ve slowed right down for these sessions, focusing less on ecological skills and more on creative practice as a means of supporting wellbeing. We’ve noticed small details on wild walks, made our own recycled paper and combined foraged materials with science magic to produce inks & dyes.

We’ve got a couple of last minute spots available for this q***r wellbeing programme! If this sounds like your jam, grab your free spot on our ticket tailor.

🪨 🌱 Join us for Lichen Study Club!

After the Slime Mould Study Club turned out to be such a joy, we’ve decided to keep the momentum going with something equally strange and wonderful: lichens!

Once again we’re keeping it pretty informal. You’re welcome to do as many or as few of the readings as you’d like, join the weekly call for a chat or just listen in.

Fiver a pop, whole month for £20

We're excited to share our new event series, Rooted! 🍃

Rooted is a free three-part wellbeing programme designed for LGBT+ people interested in nature and creativity. Over three sessions we'll explore a green space, create recycled paper and inky artworks using botanical materials. Sessions take place at Platt Fields Market Garden in Fallowfield and across south Manchester throughout late Spring.

Belated thank-you to all the SENSATIONAL volunteers who've been to our fermentation volunteer sessions over the last few months. We've been able to process many hefty boxes of brassicas into tasty sauerkraut for use in community meals at , and had a lovely time doing it 💪🥬
