Libby Walker painted Glasgow from the @uofglasgow.bsky.social flagpole yesterday!
What happens if every photo is a brushstroke, and together we paint Glasgow’s storybook? 📖🌍 That’s communiMap! We’re raffling Libby’s painting.
Add a “spot” between 9–22 Sept to be in with a chance of winning :-)

Saturday at Bellahouston allotments was magic! We set up a #communiMap stall and swapped stories, compost tips, and even pink beetroot water (fermenting).
The climate news is heavy (another hottest year, dry soils here too), but seeing folk build ponds, save seeds + caring for land gave me hope!
