Lambhill Stables Community Garden is taking shape.
“Wow this is a big area!
How are you going to change this into a community garden?”
Short film about the developments at the community garden site in Lambhil Stablesl, in north Glasgow, from February to June in 2009.
Featuring Geoff Forest from Sustainable Design Crafts who was commissioned to work with local people and school children to create a living willow “fedge”
[ a cross between a fence and a hedge"]
Jeff is running “permaculture ” workshops with local community groups to come up with a design for the garden area.

The willow workings of the Fedge
You can view the whole process of designing the fedge. From harvesting the trees from the willow fields in Kilmarnock , plotting the lay of the fedge and finally weaving the living wood into shape. The fedge project was helped along by the hard work and enthusiasm from young people from Saint Joan Of Arc Special School in Lambhill. Who have been with the project from the start. Later on in the video, we are joined by childern from Cadder Primary School who will be “dreeling up the tatties” over their community plot in the garden to produce the first crop of potatoes in 2009.
