FIRST INSTALLMENT – THE FOOTINGS!
Now that our strawbale shed is used mainly as a kitchen, we are in need of extra shelter from the elements – especially in winter!
So we are building a pergola designed by Axel Richter, a permaculture designer and architect, right next to the strawbale shelter so that we can carry out various regular activities (like propagation, seed cleaning, even eating) in relative comfort.

So far, we just have the footings completed, thanks to time and labour generously given by local builder, Phil Marshall who organised the formwork and Shayne Turner, who drove the Kanga to create the massive holes in the ground. Nick Blatch also contributed time and effort. A BIG THANKS FROM ALL OF US AT THE COMMUNITY GARDEN.
These pictures tell the story:
