Starting structure

A Kitchen Garden for school children  is being developed between the First Creek Wetland and Science Resource Centre in Adelaide Botanic Garden.
A part of the project is a large shade structure woven by members of Basketry SA.

After several trials it was decided to use bamboo on the structure. This has been slow ,hard work for all those involved but the structure is now progressing and looking good.
