One of the first big decisions we had to make about our garden was whether to have it open to all, at all times, or only when we were working in the garden. Aside from practical key holder issues which were bound to come up when different people wanted to work in the garden at different times, blocking access to the garden just seemed wrong. We talked about the risk of vandalism and anti-social behaviour that an unsecured garden would be open to, but in the end, based on the experiences of other open community growing spaces, a little bit of faith in our fellow humans and a plan to limit risk on an item by item basis, we decided on low fencing, with a gate that will always be unlocked. After weeks of delay with the supplier, the fencing finally went in on 21st September. Happy day. FInally some evidence of our collective efforts so far. Fortis' Chris was on-site to oversee the installation. Here's his tweet marking the occasion.
