| BCEP demonstrates gardening techniques. |
Outreach work for Plant Cultures was carried out by three partner organisations in Bradford.
Bradford Community Environment Project (BCEP)
BCEP engages Bradford communities with their environment. It runs a wide range of projects that encourage gardening and eating of fresh food, improve open spaces, and raise environmental awareness. It works closely with Bradford City Farm, which grows many of the plants featured in Plant Cultures.BCEP carried out outreach work for Plant Cultures between May 2004 and February 2005. This included teachers' workshops for primary school teachers, story collection, and a photographic exhibition at Cartwright Hall. Work with teachers is being followed up through distribution of a free Teachers' Pack to primary schools in Bradford.

Spice!
At the heart of Spice! are plans for a visitor destination of national and international reputation and significance, based on the themes of spices, herbs and aromatics.Because Spice! is a social enterprise, it also aims to enhance the local economy of its host city/town and region through increased tourism; learning and training opportunities, and urban development. It will open opportunities for new and existing businesses and social enterprises.
Concepts that Spice! will explore include food and drink, horticulture, ecology and the natural environment, health and well-being, and aromatic and naturally scented products. These themes combine to enable an exploration of Britain's place as a culturally diverse nation in a global world.
Spice! is currently investigating a number of possible sites in northern England.
The Spice! management team conceived and managed the Plant Cultures outreach programme in Bradford.
