The Spode Rose Garden

During the British Ceramics Biennial 2013, AirSpace Gallery renovated part of the garden, attached to the Spode China Hall, off Kingsway, to act as a physical proposal for the renovation of the entire space. Then, in 2015, Airspace returned to renovate a new segment and introduce over 30 newly developed real Spode China Roses to the site. The proposition's intent was meant as an example of what could be the future for the space, and was meant as a way of gathering support and interest to raise the funding and resources and build the necessary partnerships to see the full space renovated by 2017.

The Spode Rose Garden is a wonderful example of people led change. Through a creative action project a derelict garden in the centre of Stoke Town is now a well-loved and well used Community Garden and pocket park, running projects such as 'The Living Garden'.
