Preserve Us Julie and Ness Tombola Challenge
Taking part in the Tombolo Challenge meant you had the opportunity to win wine, chutney, herbs or even the star prize cabbage, all of which were grown or made using home grown things from Julie & Ness’s garden. All you had to do was answer a multiple choice question or make a pledge to grow your own.
This is our Garden Jerry Simon
One mans vision of how the green space by his flat on Landsdowne estate could be used as a community growing vegetable garden. A 1:1 scale plan was mapped out on the grounds with painted vegetable placards and signs and people were invited to walk around.
Winter Garden Dahlia Brown
Dahlia and her son invited people into her back yard where they grow vegetables in pots and buckets, they entertained & edcucated the trailers with their stories of growing.
Open Garden? Daniele Rinaudo
The last house on the trail, Daniele’s open garden displayed his salad and veg he grows in containers and old car tyres, only when you leave the garden did you notice the camera and monitor, which were placed in different parts of the house, the viewer could not see the camera if they chose to look at them selves on the monitor, highlighting the boundaries of the garden and the viewer’s presence in a private space.
