David, Trevor and Carole, just to let you and everyone know that the rest of us on the committee are solidly behind John in his efforts on this, so as John says your helpful ideas will be one of the more cheerful and inspiring things we have to talk about at our next meeting. It's great to know that you're enthusiastic!
A small project has been running at the Sparoza garden since last year, with occasional demonstrations there to help teachers from several local primary schools get some practical guidance on what would be involved in setting up and running small ornamental gardens for the kids there, using climate-compatible plants and techniques (as at the inspiring school in Larnaca which John showed us all during the AGM that he organised in Cyprus a few years ago, but on a much more modest scale).
