A return to an old favourite, which yesterday (3 April 2016) had its regular open day/garage sale which we were told raises a few hundred dollars every six months to defray membership costs for community gardeners. Beautiful day for it and a great chance to check up on one of the best-practice IRs of the 21st century western world (the proof's in the pictures!).
We love it when there are not only gates onto the reserve but... open gates.
A record of field trips and other explorations of a particular urban design element - the internal reserve - a 'pocket park' surrounded on all sides by residential housing but accessible by pedestrian pathways from the street. They are exclusive, secluded, sometimes neglected, sometimes celebrated, suburban spaces. This blog welcomes contributions: comments, images, memorabilia. Please email nicholsd@unimelb.edu.au
