The goal of this project is to increase awareness, promote usage, and make the Greenwich Forest Garden available as an educational resource for science and social justice. We think the Forest Garden could be more useful if it was better explained and better publicized. We will fix this, in the form of pamphlets, our blog, a revamping of the Forest Garden's website and Hampedia page, and maps. These can allow us to make it easier for people to hear about the garden, easier to find the garden, easier to learn about how to use the garden, and easier to find specific plants in the garden. We think this will make the garden more useful.

Even better graphic map.

it's more clear, eliminates the "old/less maintained paths" as Ned said I could, makes the boundaries look less like paths, the donut look more like the building than an actual doughnut... and the paths key, having much less on it is simplified, so there's more room for a smaller key with notable plants if it ends up going there.

However, now the plan is to have this painted with whiteboard paint onto a display of some sort on the toolshed when that is built next semester.

It should be cool.

gigantomap

it's 11X17 inches at 300ppi so it's big. Planning to get this printed at duplications after break, like full size so we can check it out. There may be some modification depending upon how much info I get from the sign people about where they're going to place plants, and as we do the more detailed mapping with Ned later in the year (?) I will probably have more information to put on this.

Again, the idea of the graphic map is to give people an idea of 1, how much there actually is in the forest garden- there are a lot of paths in there! and 2, generally where the paths go. It also is supposed to pique your interest- it looks like a cool place to explore when you can see all the paths, but with little emphasis on accuracy or detail.

Should be cool.
