## Greenhouse Annual Report April 1st 2023 - March 31st 2024 

We thank Norwich City Council for a set-up grant towards 7000+ This  grant,  along  with  grants  from  \the  Thomas  Anguish  and Geoffrey  Watling,  and  Paul  Bassham  charities  enabled  the continuing development  of  the  ground-floor  of  the  Greenhouse building for use as environment gallery and workshop space for 7000+ and other climate change related work. We are specifically grateful to the environment strategy officer at the Council for his support, alongside the grants officers, who have been very patient and understanding, as our single part-time member of staff has worked steadily to re-imagine the design and use of the former Greenhouse cafe and shop areas. During the year the gallery has been refitted and books, posters and images now enable in depth conversations with visitors about how we can all engage with the Nature and Climate Emergency. 

The  conversations  about  7000+  and  the  Climate Emergency are an integral element of engaging the public with our 'social sculpture'. The Paul Bassham grant enabled us to open on weekdays during the Norfolk and Norwich Festival and Open Studios. The Council  grant  linked  us  into  Pride,  the  Science Festival and organise an exhibition about Beuys and 7000 Eichen at the end of the year. 

Across the year, we provided trees to many of the visitors to the gallery in support of the Council's aim to 'double' tree cover in Norwich. The number of trees being gifted steadily increased month by month, and 

we celebrate that  part-time member of staff and the artists have grown 1,000+ trees and have engaged 1,000+ visitors in creative conversations about how we can all engage with the Nature and Climate Change Emergency. 

We supplied trees to the 'Fringe' for the planting of two 'Miyakwaki Forests. These mini-forests are great from the viewpoint  of  improving  bio-diversity  in  existing  green spaces, but detract from the urgent need to re-imagine how our streets can be transformed. Urban street trees were central to the original Beuys 7000 Eichen Art-Action, and are key to the concept under-pinning 7000+. 

The work  has toured extensively. It lives in the Museum of Modern 



Art New York 

Alongside 7000+ we have re-imagined another art-action by Joseph Beuys in order to focus in on making Norwich more 'Forest Like' -  A term used by Joseph Beuys to describe an urban environment, in which the inhabitants of all cities would exist within a living system, in harmony with Nature. 

This  original  work  by  Beuys:  titled 'Richkrafte' (roughly translates as 'Future  Directions'),  involved  a  100 blackboards, created as an Art-Action/ 'social sculpture. This project is funded by the Thomas Anguish charity with the focus of the work aimed at students from the Norwich University 

of the Arts (NUA) with an exhibition at the Forum planned for May 2025. The development and preparation  of  this  project  has  taken  longer  than  first  imagined,  but  has  been  integral  to developing how the public interact with gallery and Nature and Climate Emergency. 

By the time this report is published, plans to update our website are well underway. Our previous static site, sign-posted numerous independent educational organisations and local, national and international environmental campaigns. The future site will be interactive and aim to connect the physical gallery with a virtual exhibition space, which we hope will enable us to run promotions concurrently. 

The Trust continues to receive substantial gifts of books, CD's and artworks. These generous gifts have continued to keep the Trust running.  In turn, we have continued to work with and support the work  of  the  Catton  Grove  Nature  Reserve  and Friends of the Earth. As always it would be hard to overstate  our  gratitude  to  the  Trustees  and  the small  team  of  volunteers  who  continue  to  keep moving the Greenhouse and it's educational work forward.
