Positive SchNEWS
Plants For a Future (PFAF)... has a future. After three years of
fighting
the local council PFAF have finally received planning permission for
the
building of a major plant research and visitors' centre. The research
Centre will carry out research into potentially useful plants and
investigate alternatives to mono-culture growing techniques, such as
woodland gardens, permaculture and the use of perennial plants. Work
has
already started on preparing the demonstration garden, and building up
the
range of plants for sale in their shop and catologue. It is hoped the
land
will eventually become the site of an 'eco-village' with sustainably
designed housing. Financial assistance is desperately needed to pay
off
loans. The Field, Penpol, Lostwithiel,Cornwall, PL220NG
