The implications and benefits of Organic management on the sustainability of landscape and garden design projects.
This essay was written by me, and submitted as part of my landscape design degree - private tutorials can be arranged!
This blog however, will be devoted purely as my non-academic journey to develop the jungle area surrounding our house, which was once described by estate agents as a mature garden. The extent to which the bramble, bindweed and ground elder have dominated a badly laid out patch of suburbia certainly signifies that these species have thrived here for some time now - perhaps I will be consulting them again for advice in the future!
I plan over the next few years (in reality several decades), depending on children and limited finances, to transform this derelict wasteland of building rubble, stinging nettles and buried green houses into a veritable designer haven. My brief - low cost, sustainable, child friendly.... be prepared for a wait!
