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.

  • Alpine Garden Club Bcseeds
    Alpine Garden Club Alpine Garden Club seed is a mix but never resold commercial seed. Members donate from their gardens or there are a number who traverse mountains and such and gather wild seed. We also have members around the world who do this and send in seed as we run a seed exchange. What is sold is what is there after the exchange is over. What sorts of seed? We have lots of North American native plants, South American , Europe, Japan, China, etc. not all are alpines but there are lots. Good plants for small spaces. Much of the seed takes patience to germinate and often needs a chill. (not dry seed in a frig but in a pot, planted and then chilled) some more popular seeds are Erythroniums, Trilliums, Paeonia, Hepatica, Arisaema, Thalictrum. That's a sample. Not the sort one scatters like annuals, it does take a bit more care than that. Easy to find about requirements on Internet these days or in a book. Some take 7 years to bloom like Trilliums. Others much faster. As we have now done Seedy Saturday for a number of years there are people who seek us out now. We also get some who want the challenge of trying something new. Want to expand their knowledge and experience. The Seedy Saturday is fun. We meet all sorts of new people who are younger and starting a real interest in growing all sorts of things. Not sure this is very enlightening in terms of promotion but maybe it helps. I remember the days when first trying seed of anything was a big adventure and wondered if it would grow.
