plans plans

I think we just need to stay strong to our ideas and believe they can work! The Rosie Lea Tea House sounds wicked and we all love tea! Gardening Aprons, Tea towls, Seed packets/kits etc then the plans themselves.. so people can make their own tea at home?
Maybe it would be fun to sell the skills needed to take care of your plant, rather than the plant itself? selling on time instead of commodity? i dont know, it would add something more to our tea house if we could look at the profit in a more interesting way, like we were saying befor, making friends and learn from building!

I think after our meeting with Adamina on friday we were all feeling abit confused about where our project fitted into this alotment thing, and we werent sure wether or how to tell adamina what we had in mind? After you guys left i went back up because id forgot something and spoke to adamina again, i told her more of what we were planning, a social space within the garden. She seemed really up for it, and got really excited about it aswell! i dont think we have anything to worry about. As long as we have her to talk to the dean through that we will have alot more liberty with what we can do. Shes the grown up talking on our behalf!

Ive been collecting a list of local buisnesses in the area that im gona contact for materials etc once we've confirmed a name and logo, Also my grandma is part of an organisation that provide grants for schools building gardens, 300 pounds a time, so im gona try and get in contact with them about this aswell!

Also planting lots, i think like you said hannah herbs and tea plants are a good idea! Plus they grow quickly and smell delicious!

Got an Email from the guy who built the structures today ....


Hi Rosanna,

sorry its taken me this long to get back to you... I would love it if you were interested in working with my mobile green house but I am afraid that unless I am very lucky all of my work is leaving the site at the end of this month. I will be asking Camberwell for an extension but I don't know if this will be possible. I will let you know if they give me more time on the site.

all the best
Francis

Hannah and me were saying last night it would be good if we could all post up our ideas of what this project could and should be and also our concerns for it? Then we can all get abit clearer an idea of where we are with it!

Alsoo beth get a phone!! :D
