while meetings are ongoing …
May 2nd, 2009
A short update on some of the many meetings that are happening (nearly daily) to get the Harvest Garden off the ground.
With all the match funding confirmed we now focus (some of) our attention on the second phase of the community spaces application. We had our follow meeting with Saima Iqbal our facilitator to update her on the progress and let her know about changes to the original application. Still a lot of items to tick off – but fingers crossed it should be ready for submission in early June.
Nina, Karen (somewhere) and Sharon (Newham) have been extremely busy getting all the re-mediation works on the way. Which hopefully will start in 2 weeks time!!! I have lost track of all the meetings, emails and phone calls that are going backwards and forwards.
Dorian Moore is busy setting up the first phase of a ‘What will the harvest be’ website and plant database.
And last but not least, Chris Cavalier has been appointed Garden Club Leader after a shortlist of 3 candidates have been interviewed by Liz Shearer (Newham, Parks) Nina Pope & Karen Guthrie (somewhere) and Andreas Lang (FOAG). – Welcome Chris! – who you will be seeing on site very shortly (or he might be knocking on your door holding a pack of seed).
Chris Cavalier getting familiar with the site.
