Frodesley Forest Garden Winter to Spring 2012

Here is a brief slideshow of Frodesleys growth from January to April 2012.

It has been a slow period of growth due to illness and environmental factors but it is amazing to see the progression from Raw potential to Vision to Physical reality (actual changes in the landscape.)

My thanks as always to those kind souls who have donated Plants, time and energy to create an evolving demonstration of enjoyable, sustainable food production. Your encouragement is greatly appreciated.

Seem to be having trouble with the link to slideshow try: http://bit.ly/ImG43R  or http://www.youtube.com if all else fails!!! 

the first 18 months - Dancing the dream awake

Sadly Blogger has resisted my (possibly inept) attempts to publish slide shows and other more vibrant means of expressing the first 18 months of the project.

This is a link to the slideshow http://bit.ly/yEeNgJ on U tube which contains a few more pictures as well as the ones below

I hope you enjoy the pictures.
