Observe & Interact

Overview It's always easy to look at things with hindsight, and I've been delving into my photo's taken from the very beginning of this plot. Over a few years, the space has grown from a muddy plot of weeds and chaos. I still love a degree of the latter and have made sure to create a herb garden and raised bed full of medecinal herbs, wildflower areas for the bees and butterflies. However, as things are taking shape, I really want to document the community space. It is designed to be accessible for little hands and delighfully edible... Over the next twelves months I am following a pattern. Having contacted the Permaculture Association to become a member and arranged a meet up with course leader Hannah Thorogood, we are becoming a LAND Learner site and registered as a community project, The 3 Ethics and 12 Design principles will be guiding this years planting, growing and harvesting. Monthly Community Skill Shares This community allotment is connected to the monthly skill shares we organise at No 10 Art Gallery and at Brattleby Farm in the woodland yurt. Over the last few months since January 2015, we have been listening to the advice of Permaculture Activist Suzanne Lewis and learning about Permaculture through a teachers guide written by originator David Holmgreen.
