Lost in the Flowers

Location: Museum of Chelmsford, Oaklands Park
This beautifully illustrated bee is also a map of North Springfield, filled with flower-named roads near artist Diana’s home in Chelmsford. Inspired by a time when she was new to the area—and truly got lost—this design follows bees as they buzz from flower to flower, trying to find their way.
Can you spot the bee that has finally made it home?

You could own this bee!
When the Buzz in the City art trail ends, you’ll have the opportunity to bid on our spectacular giant bee sculptures at a live auction – a unique chance to own a piece of art and local history, while raising much-needed funds for Farleigh Hospice.
Mini bees will be returned to the schools, clubs, care homes and community groups who decorated them to keep as a lasting memory of their participation in the art trail.
