‘Mini’
retail lines are all the rage now: mini-hot-cross-buns; mini-eggs; etc. So here is a mini-blog to cover a
mini-Green-Gym-task.
That it was
a bijou group of us who gathered this morning – just three of us – was just as
well. The site was a bijou one, in the centre of Wallingford, and the task proportionately small. From our PoV this was a demo project, to do a bit of profile raising among another section of
the local community.
The patch of
land was at the back of St John’s RC church: neither garden nor wasteland, but
with potential to serve as a haven for the kind of plants beloved of insect
pollinators. Our contribution: to shift
a heap of brash, which had already been cut; and to dig over a patch of ground,
so that more suitable plants can be put there:
The bonus
was that we didn’t have to make our own tea, we could sit down on proper chairs
at a proper table with table-cloth, and admire the cool design and engineering of
the annex:
Consideration
of whether this was a semi-standard design, using off-the-shelf components, took
thoughts away from the brash heap, which had looked like half an hour’s work,
and then turned out to be one of those heaps which seem never-ending.
