The Strawberry Patch
A Creative Gardening Activation Bringing Garden Charm to Families
CEP Agency delivered The Strawberry Patch, a six-day family experience designed to entertain children during half-term while introducing them to hands-on gardening and arts activities. Set within a small urban shopping mall, the event blended a vintage-inspired allotment setting, creative crafts, and photo-worthy moments — offering families a joyful break from screens and a meaningful connection with nature.
