Ready, set, plant!

Our new project Turing's Sunflowers has officially launched and we need your help! There's a new website dedicted to the project providing you with growing tips, news of events near you and the opportunity for you to share your progress with us.

May is the main month for planting and we're hoping for plenty of sunshine, so get your seeds and pots at the ready!

Head on over to the Turing's Sunflowers website for all the information you need. There'll also be updates about events and more about the maths behind the project. You can pledge to plant your sunflowers and help us plant over 3000 sunflowers for our research project.

You can also keep up to date with goings on and share your progress on Facebook and Twitter, and we'd love to see your pictures so please share them on Flickr.

Turing’s Sunflowers is a MOSI initiative in association with Manchester Science Festival and supported by The University of Manchester and Manchester City Council.
