Amargeti village is beautiful as spring turns to summer. Cool enough to be pleasant still at three in the afternoon, it is quiet and peaceful up there where the grass is still green and the trees still blossom.
The old school was bursting with life on Sunday afternoon. The young crowd surrounded Lise on the wide staircase, covering canes with different colours of acrylic paint, and the seminar room hosted those that could be better trusted with craft knives: Project Greenhouse has begun.
After she saw the plans for construction of a greenhouse from recycled bottles, Doerte Ioannou, director of the Art & Wild Nature Foundation, decided that a greenhouse would be the 2010 project for the Foundation. Last year’s project – a playground (including climbing frame, bench, and pond) of recycled tyres weathered the winter beautifully, and provides a colourful backdrop to the
timber frame of the greenhouse-to-be.
Construction should take ten or twelve weeks, and workshops will be weekly. So if you want to be part of an exciting recycling project and spend your Saturday afternoons in a peaceful hill village, be sure to join us next week!
