The Launch - International Permaculture Day

So today is International Permaculture Day!


And we had 5 people come along to get involved in the launch of Sowing Sherwood. We've planted chives, strawberries and wildflowers for the bees. The area looks like a rubbish dumping ground so we're going to have to be careful...Fingers crossed these plants take! There were concerns of lack of water use...so we're going away to think how we deal with it.




Also, I've had a meeting with new neighbourhood officer for Sherwood, Leigh White, who has given full support of the project! I also met with local councillors and they have also shown full support! I showed Leigh the pictures of the walkabout we did, and she thinks the most likely place she can support with is Winchester Street car park - land owned by the council. She explained that the council are supportive of community gardening projects, which is fantastic to hear.
