The gardening group had the great pleasure of being able to watch the presentation given by a group of Permaculture students (Joanna Jaguar, Alli Allium, Rik Redwood, Shannon Shrubs) from Abundant Earth. After the Gardener's Walk they took their information away and applied the tools that they have been taught through their course including a Plus, Minus and Interesting (PMI) analysis. See the diagrams below for the three different sites that are being considered.

Here is a brief outline of the garden walk on Sunday 13th May 2018, at 14:30
14:30 Meet at St. John's Church Welcome and introductions. View 2 potential sites around the church. The theme of 'Unity' was proposed to some of the church council members. 14:45 Geoffrey Avenue field View the undeveloped land at the bottom of the playing field (we think it is currently owned by New College). This land offers a good opportunity to support wildlife and wildflowers. 15:00 6 George Street Visit Amy's garden and see how she has maximised her space (hot drink and biscuit provided). View possible pockets of land adjoining the A167 on the walk to ..... 15:30 Redhills Lane Visit the site of the potential 'flagship' garden at the old entrance to Durham Johnston school. Several members of the group have gardens nearby which attendees are welcome to have a look in. 15:45 Mark's Garden, Redhills Lane A brief visit to Mark's garden next to the Redhills Site, this is optional 16:00 End Please note that the weather may be changeable on Sunday. The route is mainly flat but please wear footwear suitable for walking on uneven surfaces. The distance between St John's Church and Redhills Lane is 0.6 miles, so the total length of the walk will be approximately 1 mile. |
