It’s maybe strange to be writing a garden blog from the biggest music festival in the world but there are actually quite a few gardens around the place and over the next few days I’m going to go exploring. The best is the now permanent forest garden style permaculture garden in the Green Futures field. It’s the only garden that stays on Mr Eavis’ fields when the rest of Glastonbury goes home. The garden plays host to a number of workshops through the whole of the festival and there’s also a great cafe cooking some of the food grown on site. Comfrey fritters anyone? We’ve set up our carbon take away in the Greenpeace field from which we’ll be sending a carbon calculator programme to mobile phone’s with blue tooth. It’s the first mobile phone carbon calculator and we’re calling it climate:mobile. If you’re not coming to glastonbury and you want to get hold of the calculator text ‘climate’ to 80010. That’s all for now.
