There was a great turn out from locals, students and organisations at the garden for this first in a series of consultation events on the garden. L
ocal residents made
screen prints of orchard trees using Dundee Urban Orchard's unique mobile print
unit. Participants also planted one of DUO's 'shadow markers' to represent
their commitment to planting a small scale orchard within the garden. Music was created by the pedal powered sparky spokes kit. More can be found at the Dundee Channel. Look out for the next event on the 21st June from 4.30pm to 6.30pm where we will be gathering more thoughts on the use and design of this space.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI live on Lyon st, but I've never heard of this project! Where exactly is the garden? Is it just for that house or the whole street? How can I help?
Hi Milda.
ReplyDeleteIts a new project which has recently received funding from the lottery to work up a design for this piece of land and make it a community garden open to all. Its owned by Abertay University and they are keen to make it a community asset. Please come along on Thursday evening between 4.30pm and 6.30pm to the site and get involved in designing the space. Its behind the student accommodation on lyon street - access from Erskine street though.
Thanks Ali
