Plot 12: Leeds Met / Beckett Wellbeing Allotment
After the project ceased to be a viable live scheme following
the intervention of the SouthHeadingley Community Association (on -
we understand - mistaken grounds that
additional pollinator and/or edible planting on the Moor might
compromise a futureapplication to English Heritage for Registration
as an 'Historic Park and Garden of
special historic interest in England'), a decision was made to
task the interns recruited forthis project to develop some minimal
research and sketch design work on behalf of sites
that had specifically requested assistance.
Marc Delauny, Thibaud Fugier, Marlene Gasp, Come LePage and
Sophie Lataste fromEcole Nationale Suprieure d'Architecture et du
Paysage in Bordeaux produced the
following for the Leeds Beckett Allotment
TB 22 09 2014
String o' Beads(rhyming slang for Leeds - working title only)
was a concept for a chain of 'pocket' forestgardens and orchards,
with interspersed wild flower / pollinator and food planting,
across the Leeds Edible
Campussite, linking the community permaculture garden at Bedford
Fieldsin the north with the University
of Leeds Sustainable Gardenin the south, to provide a foraging
route deep into the city.
