Urban meets countryside: Darsham Nurseries

Undergraduate students visited Darsham Nurseries in Suffolk.
Kitchen garden in the nursery
Last week 2nd year Landscape Architecture and Landscape Garden Design students visited Darsham Nurseries in Suffolk.
The students were given a tour by Jevan Watkins Jones which included the potager (ornamental kitchen garden), the nursery, the private gardens and studio space, the crop fields and pig pens, the compost station and the poly tunnels.
They were also introduced to owner David Keleel, who told them about his personal route to Darsham and the progress that the team has made from dereliction to how it is today.
After a scrumptious lunch Jevan led a drawing workshop around the potager. The students task was to draw aspects of the garden while constantly walking, to capture the essence of the space from various angles.
