3.1 Site Asssessment
I had deja vue on starting this lesson as I had coincidently come across this term before in a recent business course for creative designers that I did earlier on in the year. So I will be SWOTing everywhere!
Please see you Facebook messenger Bret. I sent my drawing there with some pictures. You mentioned a “CSA.” Could you refresh my memory what a CSA is?
{HHA Coach} If you’re looking to get in touch with Bret, the quickest way to do so is by emailing him @ [email protected]. He checks that more often than FB.
CSA = Community Supported Agriculture 🙂
So, just to make sure I’m kind of understanding this:
MY SITE: the tiny previously placed 2.5×6 roof top garden
STRENGTH: lots of sunlight, access to natural water (rain) and the soil is controlled (because it’s like a container garden).
WEAKNESS: accessibility (it’s on the roof top of a 3 story building so getting supplies like bricks or soil or water can be a pain), harsh exposure to the elements (there’s no shade, gets sun all day/ which is also a strength), and no water faucet (so I’ll have to make sure to collect water)
OPPORTUNITIES: it’s pretty much a blank canvas, so theres a lot of potential to grow, possible rain water harvesting
THREAT: the city birds like to dig in the garden & the sometimes excessive wind or heavy wind gusts because of open space.
This has really got me thinking about every aspect of my site even with individual trees. Excellent words Bret
Just going through my checklist of what I’ve done and realize I wasn’t sure if this one and the previous one (3.2 & 3.1) need to be turned in?
Thanks!
No Noel, they don’t need to be turned in, only for your reference!
Hi Brett,
I think the link is wrong, can you check it?
Thanks!
Ok, I was wrong… sorry!
