June 1984 Introduction The garden, named after the founding Director of the Tussock Grasslands and Mountain Lands Institute::', is intended to be educational. From the early 1970s, a small garden plot provided a touch of character to the original Institute building, but it was in 1979 that planning began to really make headway. Land­ scape students at the College carried out design projects, ideas were selected and developed by Landscape architecture staff in the Department of Horticul­ ture, Landscape and Parks, and the College approved the proposals.

  • The Edible Garden Permaculture Design Project Report; Malvik, October 2017 Stephen Barstow
    The Edible Garden Permaculture Design Project Report; Malvik, October 2017 Stephen Barstow The Edible Garden is a long term ongoing evolving project in Malvik, Trøndelag some 17 km east of the city of Trondheim with a view over the Trondheimsfjord (63°26'25"N, 10°39'15"E) at about 32m above sea level. When myself and my then wife and lifelong friend Eileen Stoupe were looking at a place to buy in 1984, the wish, as young vegetarians, was to be as self-sufficient as possible, and at that time this meant preferably flat land on which to grow traditional annual vegetables, as well as fruit and berries. We had rented a place nearby since autumn 1981 in the same climate zone. I was also very interested in birds and wild plants. The property we finally bought had a lot of trees in which the previous owners had set up around 25 nest boxes for birds. The house and garden were far from our perceived ideal as there was limited space suitable for growing traditional vegetables and the soil was shallow, but I had recently been introduced to the concept of raised bed gardening which could significantly improve the growing conditions (I had been a member of the UK based organic gardening organisation Henry Doubleday Research Association, HDRA since 1979). It was however a fantastic piece of land with a lot of interesting plants, notably Hazel, known to attract a good range of wild life, and Hepatica (blåveis), indicative of neutral to basic soil and an early spring was to be expected.

  • Workplace Growing
    Briefing: Workplace growing The workplace growing concept Workplace growing encompasses a wide range of gardening activity on sites where people work. This could be private businesses with spare pieces of land available for growing, public spaces such as universities, hospitals, schools, or prisons or could belong to organisations like churches or village halls. These are places where volunteers, staff, patients, prisoners, parishioners, customers and students can come together and create a vibrant space to grow. Workplace growing is gardening activity supported by the workplace which allows a piece of land on their site to be used to for growing. In an RHS survey 73% of respondents said they considered gardening to be a good way of unwinding from the pressures of work and over half said if they had access to a workplace garden they would use it. Workplace growing often involves the staff who work on the site but then the local community is invited to use the land as well and actively participate in decisions about site design, what will be grown, when people will be on site and how they will all work together effectively. Workplace growing spaces are experiencing a higher profile as the demand for community growing spaces has increased. This is particularly relevant in areas where few open spaces are available to people and where those people want to create a garden, orchard or wildlife area. People have started to look beyond their own gardens, allotments, parks or other open spaces to find additional alternative growing sites. Workplace gardens are starting to look at new ways of using land more effectively in the spaces they work in.
