Foundation House Progress

Had a meeting tonight at Maggie's house, with Maggie,Nick,Nisha, Noel, Janet, James, Kat & Bella.
Discussed general aims of this sub group and a more detailed plan for the Foundation House site off Crowtree Lane. A wish list was created which would initially:
  • Make the site rabbit proof.
  • Create up to 8 raised beds in approximately a quarter of the space available.

  4. In this world of material excess I don't think the garden will have a problem finding material resources.
    What is far more valuable is peoples' time.
    I think the commitment of just seven hours a week should be enough to manage this garden. That could be 2 people at 3.5 hours a week, seven people at one hour, 14 at half an hour....you get the idea. So even if you can only commit to half an hour once a week it would be helpful.

  7. Good to hear Stephanie Ladley is interested, we told her about it at the permaculure course.
    Spoke to Ashley Wells manager of Focus DIY re. donating materials. He suggested we send him a letter headed letter explaining our project with a wish list.
