Aim:             
 The aim was to disseminate and share our findings –the stories and photographs to whole estate – giving something back.
What & How: On the weekend before Christmas 2007 Jodie Cresswell and a couple of fellow artist delivered a primrose and poster to every household on the estate. It was hoped that the primroses would all be planted and nurtured by the residents – so that each household had something in common that they could watch grow together
Outcome: The feedback on the day was extremely positive. It successfully drew the complex experiences of the project together and one would hope sparked up conversations between families and residents and became a feature in their homes
