March	Monday 23rd 4pm onwards	Permaculture Garden Design Goldsmiths College, New Cross "This is a new garden space and looks to be quite a challenge.

The potential here is to create a space that maximises the verticality of the surrounding walls on 3 sides. Click on the link to enlist. Bring food to share"
May	Tuesday 26th 4pm onwards	Permaculture Garden Design Goldsmiths College, New Cross "In this second session we have discovered that the original site has be reclaimed by the head gardener.

Using recycled materials the object is to build a movable decking and cover the potato patch whilst we await their sprouting, and then use the area to bring on stage various student bands, including myself."
June	Saturday 13th	Children's Scrap Percussion Talk Action, Turnpike Lane "Working in association with Steve Barbe who runs regular sessions the family fun day out is a borough run event which caters for green issues like recycling and climate change.

We will also utilise the existing soft fruit on site including the introduction of the likes of grapes, kiwis and hops. One day will be spent tree grafting varieties of various top fruit and contriving a plan for the existing grafted stock from the previous year, and the following day will be implementing various food plants into the landscape."

September	Sunday 5th 2010	Urban Green Fair Brockwell Park, Brixton "Click on the front image to access website and here for further information. This year SLP have stepped down from coordinating the Food and Garden zone and will concentrate solely on a picnic area. I am particularly looking for artist contributions regarding this theme. As well as this we are seeking permission to plant a commemorative orchard. The area requires helpers, contributions and workshops. The idea is to create a garden over the course of the weekend, utilising elements from the surrounding zones. The day will end with a big picnic incorporating the food available from the other areas."
