One of the projects I work on is a private garden in Totnes. It is just under 1000 sq meters in size, has a couple huge yew trees and large laurel hedges surrounding it, which give it quite a lot of shade. It's been mostly kept as an ornamental garden, but includes some fruit trees and some nice edibles with ornamental value such as solomon's seal on the second picture. The brief for me is to turn the garden from an ornamental into a food forest, which is right up my street.

The December Newsletter went out this morning. You can find it here with numbers, testimonials and stories from 2017, upcoming permaculture and growing workshops and more...

The team at the community garden Bandstand Beds on Clapham Common have used some of their funding to organise a series of three winter workshops on their site. Michel Thill from Social Landscapes was invited to deliver the sessions. In the first workshop the group has explored strategies for natural pest control.

You would like to grow food in the winter? or get your garden ready for the coming year?

Do you want to engage in a community initiative to promote local food and permaculture design? Would you like to be supported in the process, grow your skills, gain work experience and become part of a community? An internship with Social Landscapes might be the right opportunity for you!
