A mobile house at Manor school … coming to the garden
May 10th, 2009
2nd and 3rd year Students from the architecture department of London Metropolitan University (LMU) are using Abbey Gardens and its surrounding area as the site for a year long study into alternative student accommodation. As part of which they built a small mobile structure entirely made of found and recycled materials. The delightful room has kindly been donated to Abbeys Gardens and hopefully will furnish the Harvest Garden when it is up and running next month.
In the meantime the room is on a residency at the Manor School which is a short walk away from the garden. The LMU students together with Chris Cavalier (the garden club leader) ran a couple of planting workshops with the student and hopefully started what will be a ongoing and long lasting relationship between school and garden.
