  • 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.

  • Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Receives Grants to Start
    Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens e-Newsletter February 2021 EDITION Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Receives Grants to Start Master Plan Process Jacksonville, Fla. (Feb. 10, 2021) – Later this month, the Arboretum will begin the exciting process of developing a master plan to design and install botanical gardens on the property. The master plan process was made possible by generous grants of $30,000 from the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund and $10,000 from the River Branch Foundation. The planning process will take about eight months to complete. The addition of botanical gardens is the latest in a continuous plan to propel the Arboretum into a best-in-class destination in the southeast. Executive Director Dana Doody noted that each project is being planned carefully to add as much value as possible while managing the non-profit’s budget plan in unprecedented times. In addition to the grant for the master plan design, the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund also awarded the Arboretum a $70,000 challenge grant for the first phase of the implementation. The 1:1 challenge grant will launch a community campaign following the completion of the design plan. “The Arboretum is an important community asset which brings thousands of people to its special trails, many of which are ADA accessible,” said Delores Barr Weaver. “The plan will provide a vision for a botanical destination, sure to benefit our citizens for years to come.” The process will take into account the Arboretum’s unique qualities, Florida’s seasons and Jacksonville’s ecosystems and native horticulture.
