Growing Schools in Whitley

This is my project blog, following the development of 6 schools gardens as part of the Whitley Excellence Cluster's Aspire project, in Reading. Myself and colleague Dave are working with teachers, school governers and of course the pupils to create school gardens that are healthy, abundant and sustainable landscapes. The project started in March 2006. This is my diary of the work and I hope to encourage pupils to write their own blog for their individual garden projects.

This is a willow dome design by Steve Pickup, who has to be one the leading willow sculpture designers in the country, adapted from the living fedge idea - i.e. half fence/ half hedge basic design he has created a whole range of intersting shapes and structures. See Willow Bank Steve is a good freind of ours and we hope to be introducing several of the partner schools to these kind of designs. Low maintenance fences and structures that add loads of new wildlife and people habitat opportunities, are a great source of materials for arts classes as well as making excellent screens and hedges. Posted by Picasa
