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.

Piccadilly Street Code Compliance Guideline Winchester, VA 22601 CCG-003 Telephone 540.662.2298 Fax 540. 542.1318 PERMISSIBLE FIREWORKS The Winchester Fire Marshal determines the acceptability of consumer fireworks offered for sale or use within the City of Winchester. The following list of permissible fireworks (listed by item number) is acceptable to the Fire Marshal’s Office for storage, use, and/or retail display. A user of permissible fireworks is not required to obtain a fire code permit or be certified as a pyro technician when such use is on private property with the approval of the property owner. Consumer fireworks (Division 1.4G) that meet acceptable criteria during the annual evaluation and review process are classified through the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code as “permissible fireworks”. The State Fire Marshal’s Office works with other localities, such as Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties as examples, to evaluate and review items by actively comparing the items to the performance criteria found in the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory (AFSL), 2009 Edition. NOTICE: City code states it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to transport, store, possess, sell, offer for sale, expose for sale, or to buy, use, ignite, or explode any fireworks that are not permissible fireworks as approved by the Fire Marshal.
