We need to visually get across to people what makes a ‘global garden’ - you would need to be an experienced graphic artist and able to draw an aerial view of what a typical ‘global garden’ looks like taken from images of existing gardens. Working with RISC garden coordinators. Hours/days to be mutually arranged.

 

Garden – Food for Families
