Garden Group - First Material Pickup

The people at Dixie Plywood & Lumber Company were kind enough to donate a ton of material for our container project.

The crew for today's pickup: Scott Capon, Matt Bannon, Justin Jablonski, Briana Johnson, and Ryan Melville.

Two forklifts were used in a combined effort to get all of the wood loaded into our truck.

Nelsy at Dixie Plywood & Lumber worked with Justin to put all of this together. Thanks Nelsy!

Tim works at Dixie Plywood & Lumber and helped us get all of the wood loaded into the truck. Thanks Tim!

Some of the wood was a little too long to fit in the truck.

The sand blasted container is started to get a nice patina.

All of the wood is stored and ready to go.





 

Look at all that wood!



Diagrams

These are examples of how I would open up the container in order to create spaces that extend into the garden. Perhaps there is a way to cut and prop open some of the sides. This would create bigger openings and windows which would help with - lighting, ventilation, views, and circulation. The most important thing here is to have the classroom extending into the garden.

Below are diagrams of how the spaces could be organized within the container. I've broken down which spaces would be public, private, and semi-private. There is also a list of who might utilize the spaces, how many people would occupy them, and what they might be used for.

Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!
