Cobourg Ecology Garden (CEG) is situated at the south end
of Hibernia St. in Cobourg Ontario. The mission of
the CEG is to demonstrate and promote “ecological gardening” on-site. An amphitheatre-style dry stone seating area just
south of the existing gazebo will provide seating for educational seminar
participants, garden visitors, and people on the boardwalk who stop to
rest. The green and white bands around
the gazebo mark the exterior and interior boundaries of the proposed dry stone
wall (Figure 1). The natural,
complicated, and permanent nature of an amphitheatre-style dry stone wall is
consistent with CEG's goal to build a model of permaculture by the beach.
Dry stone walling across Canada ran a two-day dry stone walling seminar at the Cobourg Ecology Garden last weekend. We completed the lower seating area of a lecture amphitheatre in the park.
Congratulations on a job well done Judith, Gregory, Warren, Sandy, Kyle, Alec, Sandra, Lee, Medina and Mike
Special thanks go to James Quelch who envisioned the project and made the whole event possible.
