Chris Hoare documents allotment-goers in lockdown
The photographer’s new book, Growing Spaces, captures gardening enthusiasts and the abundance of nature in both official and improvised plots across Bristol 07/04/2021 7:34 am
Despite being in the works before the pandemic, Chris Hoare’s new photo book Growing Spaces takes on a new appeal in light of the past year, which has recalibrated our relationship with the outdoors and seen an uptick in interest in gardening.
The Bristol-born photographer was originally commissioned to create the series by Bristol Photo Festival, and will be exhibiting it at the inaugural edition this summer.
At the heart of Growing Spaces is the breadth of communities and demographics who engage with gardening and tend allotments, from the elderly to children and entire families.
