TO DO :
Visit more gardens.
Find out stuff. ( culture probe in a way )
I need to start challenging the information and research I'm getting. A phrase keeps propping up, usually along the lines of " breath of fresh air ". What does that even mean? For me, I imagine taking in a big deep breath of fresh seaside air, while walking on the beach on a sunny crisp spring day. But thats my individual imaging of it, but what does it signify for everyone else?
I need to start questioning peoples experiences and their personal ideas of nature, why do they think nature is important or not as it may be. What are there personal thoughts on other elements affecting on how they interact with nature.
A few questions I'm thinking I should consider asking. I want these questions to encourage a discussion and or debate on nature and gardening, a conversation will give me a better insight into their thoughts and opinions.
How people feel about being outdoors.
Do they ever think/imagine going on hikes, adventures, exploring ( wanderlust)
Does the concept of 'gardening' as a hobby appeal to those who don't already and work during the day?
Would growing your own food be something you'd like to attempt?
Whats the longest you've kept a plant alive for?
Why did you purchase an allotment?
What was appealing about owning one?
Tell me about the plants you grow.
How do you find balacncing the responsibilty of maintaining an allotment and your normal day to day routine?
What would, if anything, make you stop owning an allotment?
What do you enjoy the most about owning an allotment?
Does the weather ever play a part in your decision to visit the allotment and spend time on it?
