Need a garden

[Michelle Thomasson]

Hi all,

Spent 19 years out of the UK and only came back to England for our daughters education. So miss the Southern Spanish landscape, my garden, my olive tree (Juanito) and the large allotment, the appreciation of life and less materialistic outlook: www.mediterraneangardensociety.org/48-flowing.html

Only have a rental garden at moment, can grow things in pots but would really like to have a plot of land for community horticulture, probably via our small Transition Initiative we have here:

That´s all for now, may our wild flowers never be mown.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful links, Michelle. It is really apparent that small scale movements are starting every day all around the world and we all need to hear about them to stay inspired ourselves. Your garden in Spain must have been an amazing experience!

Thanks Brent,

I had not seen that movie, will look it up. Have you seen this short piece about the Transition Initiative by Jay Griffiths, it is thought provoking: www.orionmagazine.org/index.php/articles/article/4792

Also wondered is there was anything useful for you in a latest IIED report about Zambia and environmental mainstreaming: www.iied.org/pubs/display.php?o=17502IIED

Happy gardening.

Have you seen the movie "In Transition or Greenhorns?" The initiative you have going in Minchinhampton sounds great. I look forward to following it's development. Sheryl and I have a garden in our backyard for the first time and have been enjoying its bounty!
