TRansition Ipswich FOrest GArden
S - Worked with Eric on Sun aspect and height and spacing of trees in 2009. Thinking 10 years ahead to get the taller trees at the back of the plot to let sunlight into the area.
A- Enough people involved to make it happen. So top layer Trees got bought.
D- Full Initial designs too complicated but with the tallest 'top layer' fruit trees planted with a good design in mind the structure became possible to see.
I - easy to plant trees - achievable task in year 1.
M - less easy to keep the grass maintained so as to not look out of control (important with allotment lady breathing down our unconventional necks.
E- 2016- its now stable, level, shed up and raised beds. Perhaps ready for the next understory level.
T - Organise a tea party and perhaps make jam. Feedback from the Peoples community garden was to have a gathering point. Im my initial design a picnic spot in the middle has been used as the biggest space as a raised bed. Suggest moving this if not in growing season in the autumn.
