    Where: Avalon Wildflower Park Opposite the Red Brick Building, Glastonbury

    Avalon Wildflower Park is a new community project opposite the Red Brick Building. The former BMX
    track, now overgrown, is unloved and neglected. Our vision is to transform it into a haven of native plants, buzzing with life. We want to create a beautiful, fun and ecologically vibrant learning and community space.

    This practical design workshop, led by an experienced designer, will be an opportunity to aid the planning & re- design of the area while supporting people to learn new skills. The course will include:

    • What is design?
    • Mapping techniques & how to create a base map
    • Basic practical site surveying skills
    • Undertaking client interviews & researching community needs
    • Practical ways of surveying plants and vegetation
    • A short introduction to how water moves through a landscape

    Cost: The course is free for adults in receipt of state benefits, otherwise £10-£50 donation. Bring lunch to share. Booking essential.

    To book: please email Nicole: eat@feedavalon.org.uk

    This course is financially supported by Somerset Skills & Learning CIC.
