'free fruit for free citizens'
A platform to map locations of free/abandoned fruit and nut trees on the commons,
a database on varieties, harvesting times, quantities, need for care and interplanting,
with the aim to conserve matured cultural landscape and regional biodiversity.
Maybe we can add spots for the still empty Glasgow area?

REVIEW | 2nd site visit at the hidden.gardens 09.08.2012
A nice and sunny Thursday afternoon in the hidden.gardens, both mum's with kids and prams and families enjoying the summer day, sitting down on the grass, soaking up sunshine, drinking coffees, children trying themselves on badminton, other kids running along the small paths exploring the garden. A lovely chat with loely head gardener Jean Gavin, taking a great amount of her time and providing us with so many helpful information, advices and addresses. Thank so much, Jean!

REVIEW | 1st work session 04.08.2012
A warm and sunny day in the garden...
with a site clean up and the need for bins,
sowing tatsoy, spring onions, russian kale, beetroots and many more,
first contacts with residents,
learning, that the space is not a deserted, but used as a retreat and playground for kids, climbing the walls,
exchanging and developing lots of thoughts and ideas,
realising the urgence of regularly face-to-face meetings.
REMEMBER | the ikarian diet
Australian Sarah Wilson travels the Greek Island of Ikaria, a so called blue zone, together with the National Geographic team to find out about their traditional food habits. Different from what we have been told over the past twenty years.
- clean, pure and whole food straight from the garden
- no messing around with food, e.g. skim milk or preservatives
- slow cooked
- healthy amounts of dairy, notably goat's milk
- (pork) meat as a sideshell, of a marginal size
- tiny amounts of added, obvious sugars - no hidden sugars
- large quantities of pure organic wine red wine (sulphite-free!) to be consumed with meals to increase absorption of nutrients - a social activity
- smaller calorie intake
