The Poppy Project
The story
The response to our Poppy Project has been overwhelmingly positive. Community groups, clubs, schools, childcare centres and locals have come together to make poppies for our display.
Poppies have been created from a range of materials. A craft group made hundreds of crochet flowers during sessions at Vincent Library, while Vincent Community Shed contributed 300 wooden poppies that were hand painted by children at local childcare centres and kindergartens.

"It was good to be involved in a project that had contributions from many in the community.
Our members come from diverse backgrounds and countries. It would be fairly certain that most members of the Shed would have relatives or friends who have died or suffered in conflicts, past or more recent, in places all over the world. Remembrance Day is an opportunity for us to pause together and remember them."
Lynton, Vincent Community Shed
