The Design

The design we presented for the permaculture course hopes to give people plenty of opportunities within the site, allowing people to come together. 

We came up with a design for the area under the stone wall at the top of the site which is currently very overgrown.  Our design takes this area to be one unified space which would be openly accessible for anyone who wants to be involved  The idea is to create a community growing space with some different growing activities going on, so that people can come and try out (or teach) different things.  We'd be more than happy to come and discuss our designs with you, and generally talk further about this. 



On the following design you can see we have included:

- A greenhouse
- Large terraced beds
- A seating areas encorporating a herb garden
- Compost area
- Fan trained trees on the wall
- Comfrey patch
- Stepped and sloping path    
- Cold frames for propogation
- Pond for water catchment - A vital part of our plan!

  
 This is a 3 year plan of the site
