Lots happening today! We started with a session on greywater - reviewing a range of systems from commercial to DIY home based ones. I'm very excited by some of the possibilities for a simple system at our place. I definitely want to get one of these happening in the next few months. We also talked a bit about simple aquaculture systems.
The next session was looking at options for 'retrofitting' the urban landscape - including treasure in skips, options for guerilla gardening (LOVED this part of the session) as a community building exercise helping to reclaim unwanted urban spaces.
This afternoon we had the intro to our design project - we'll be working in groups of 5 on 2 real life design projects for members of commonground. My group are looking at creating a permie-plan the urban house (run down) and land in Seymour town. I've got a great group with diverse skills and experiences so I'm really looking forward to working on our design. Lots of exciting possibilities. The rest of the afternoon was taken up with the site visit and talking to our 'client' about his plans and visions for the site.
Tonight is a night off (bliss) so will probably do some notes / planning for the project. Tomorrow is another site visit to Violet Town.
