The community themselves wanted to have a "recreation space" and to kick off their new makers space. Connected to MESH is also acafé that wanted to use the garden for supplying parts of their cooking. A diverse group of architects, designers, landscape architects, gardeners, business people, a prothesis maker and others turned up to become part of the project.
The first workshop aimed at investigating visions and possibilities of the community and the space, and how we could transform these visions to something that could be created "here and now".
The second phase was all about building prototypes for the first growing season, based on ideas traced in the first workshop and developed and partly pre-fabricated by Growlab.
After two weeks of workshops, the result was a garden community for the place, to take care of the garden and to develop the space even further. Together the group also designed two prototypes being tested the first season: a mobile, green wall and a crate for slope roofs.
