This article appeared in the first page turning Shiftazine. It is such a cool topic that I thought I should run it here just in case you sadly missed Issue No.1. When I first came across this particular garden I was so struck by the degree of the care and tremendous effort that had been invested in it. Within days I found another garden and then another. And it is all the doing of the local people of the area, no councils involvement, no big business, just individuals working for a greater good. So now go find a local community garden, but better still, become a part of one or even better, start one!
SHIFTAZINE is about celebrating what is out there, already in your life, right in front of you. SHIFTAZINE aims to give some useful insights, to pose some questions, and to make you look at everything differently. Hopefully, it will help shift the contemporary perception of beauty and aesthetics. SHIFTAZINE is created by Jacqueline Hill and is associated with DESIGNASAW.
