Avenues Open Gardens is an urban open gardens event that takes place in the HU5 area of Hull over two Sunday afternoons in late June / July every year.
There are usually around 40 private gardens open plus allotments, so there is typically something of interest to every gardener.
The gardens show a diversity of gardening styles complimented by the interesting and unique architecture of the buildings. Many gardens are large extending to 150ft with original features such as stable blocks and outhouses.
The event is complimented by outdoor music and theatre and runs from 13:00 to 17:00 each day. Many houses also offer a wide range of refreshments. There are, of course plants for sale.
Proceeds are for Dove House and Rooted in Hull.
Yellow Day’ was a project that I rolled out across Hull, – with the help of countless people from all corners of the aforementioned city – on Saturday June 24th 2017.
The day itself was created to help people from Hull to celebrate their love of their city, and it’s fascinating history, by means of wearing or creating something yellow.
I chose the colour yellow because it’s a psychologically uplifting colour, and it resonates spontaneity, optimism, positivity and energy. And I intended to link all of those elements with people’s love of Hull and its long and influential history. Furthermore, I chose yellow because it is a colour that is intrinsically linked with Hull, as this was the colour of the the three coronets that featured in Hull’s original coat of arms.
This year’s theme is boats #yellowdayhull
