Practical Design Workshop for Avalon Wildflower Park POSTPONED

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
