Growing Your Own Food and Exploring the Sun's Energy
A Workshop at the Museum of Garden History August/ September 2007
In this workshop we grew our own food and flowers in a communal space- in St. Mary's garden by the Museum of Garden History. We worked with this public space in a healthy way and made it a more pleasant and useful place. We grew our own food - mushrooms, mint, coriander, lemon balm, sweetcorn, peppers, salad, kohl rabi, and tomatoes etc and flowers-forget me nots, poppy seeds, daises, nigela We met a few months later to and cook what we had grow using solar ovens that we made. The workshop was a practical, creative, and DIY approach to our environment.
