Join Chiara Dellerba and special guests to discover the wonder and beauty of our urban plants and create wilder streets where we live.

Street Botany with Wild.NG and Chiara Dellerba

In the morning, join artist Chiara Dellerba and locally based botanists Wild.NG for a walk around the local area, to learn about plants and trees growing in the neighbourhood.

Corby Balm with Rebecca Beinart and Chiara Dellerba

In the afternoon, discover the healing properties of common local plants – including ‘weeds’ that we might pass by every day – to make your own balm to soothe aches, pains and injuries, with artists Rebecca Beinart and Chiara Dellerba. We’ll be working with plants that link to Corby’s industrial and pre-industrial history.

Join for all or part of the day, with further activities across the entire weekend.

Begins from the Corby Town Centre Steelman statue, outside The Corby Cube.

Pay what you can afford (Recommended donation £20)

Part of Chiara Dellerba’s Chimera Plantarium project taking place across Corby, this workshop is one of a new series of artist led activities which utilise the best of the online and offline world, connecting people with one another and the natural world. As part of our Xylophobia programme.

Chiara Dellerba is an artist, curator and facilitator based in UK. Her work focuses on ecology, slow down and collective-care practices and their civic impact on society. She makes installations, interactive performances, collaborative-based works and books as toolkits to investigate the city, the environment and the future of our society. In 2019, she founded Zona Planetaria, a research-based residency programme which promotes slowing down and contemplation as practices in which caring, resting, and suspending can be reclaimed as political acts by and for everyone.

Based in Nottingham Wild.NG is a volunteer led project for local people and led by local people, aiming to aid nature’s recovery where we live, by creating active communities, street by street.

Rebecca Beinart is an artist, educator and curator, based in Nottingham. She works collaboratively with places, plants and communities. Through socially engaged and place-based research, she develops long term projects – using creative workshops and public dialogue to reflect on collective histories and futures, social and environmental justice, knowledge-making, and the politics of public space.
