With the help of a CSV Action Earth grant the work on the shed began. We were also fortunate that work had begun on the new Linwood Sports Centre on the site adjacent to the community garden and we were able to get plenty of pallets to use as spare timber.
It became clear from the start that this was going to be a BIG shed!
The side panels were put in place and the cladding began.
Once we established a ‘system’ the panels went on quickly, at this stage we realised it really was going to be even BIGGER!
With the weather turning increasingly wintery we were keen to get a roof of sorts in place but the felt will have to be put on when the weather improves. We can do no further work this year but will complete it in early 2013 (weather permitting!)
We are also going to add 15 bug boxes to the side of the shed to enrich the biodiversity of the area and hopefully bring lots more pollinating insects to the garden.
