Hi, I’m Yasmine, I’m a first-year master’s student in the SKN atelier, and I did my undergrad at the University of Kent. Through studying architecture, I’ve really grown interested in community-focused projects, especially ones that are environmentally conscious. I’m excited to be working with Growing Togetherness CIC and to learn more about community gardens along the way.

Today we brainstormed ideas on how to engage with the community at the garden ahead of our second site visit next weekend. We decided to collate precedents of water features which we will print and show the volunteers and members of the Salford Croquet Club who play on Saturday afternoons. We are planning on giving them coloured paper to vote for which ideas they like or dislike, allowing us to get a holistic idea on what design style is favoured before we start designing the water feature in the coming weeks, as well as allowing the community to have a say in the design process.
