Prouvost collaborated on elements of the work with groups of local women in Manchester. You can read Rosy's article here.  Laure Prouvost, The long waited weighted gathering at MIF21 Image Michael Pollard Building the allotment Poly Tunnel took most of the day. A Poly Tunnel is long polythene-covered frame under which seedlings or other plants are grown outdoors. The Science Bit: the interior heats up because incoming solar radiation from the sun warms plants, soil, and other things inside the building faster than heat can escape the structure. It will allow the allotment to increase the variety of and length of time we can crops grown. Many thanks to Mrs.Selby, Mr.Waring, Mr.Leventhall, Mrs.Cohen, Miss.Thomas and especially our expert volunteers, Mark and Richard from Incredible Edibles (Whitefield), for their time and experience. Please see the photos below of the amazing veg and herbs growing over the summer. We look forward to more activities and volunteering when we're all back on campus in two weeks. |
