About this Event

Green Spaces Course – Day Eight, Monday 15th July 

 The Legacy of Your Green Space Project:  

  • 10:00-10:45 Introductions – sharing stories of long-lived and not-so-long-lived projects. The recipe for longevity: good communication, succession in projects. 


  • 10:45-11:40 Problems that projects run into & some solutions: the money running out, the group drifts apart, the crucial person is leaving.  
     
  • 11:40-12:00 Coffee Break & Chat 
     
  • 12:00-12:45 Perennials, self-seeders and forest gardens- gardens that can be returned to. Taking over an abandoned garden or allotment. 
     
  • 12:45-13:30 Lunch & Chat 
     
  • 13:30-14:30 Recruitment and engagement. Training & induction. 
      
  • 14:30-14:45 Take a Yield – the complex yields of community gardens, or how to make the green space important in the lives of participants. 
     
  • 14:45-16:00 The evolution of organisations. Scaling up, and scaling out.

*These sessions will be free for participants on low incomes, on benefits, or who are students. Free places will also be available for members of groups which have previously been involved in the Swansea Community Green Spaces Project.
