Students at Darsham Nursery 2 nd year undergraduate landscape architecture and garden design students met Artist and Gardener Jevan Watkins Jones at Darsham Nursery, Suffolk to learn about the forward thinking concept for a new nursery, restaurant and garden.   An artistic approach to planting design, café culture, cuisine and the sales area underpins food growing, and harvesting with an exquisite menu and supports the ideas of regionalism and local economies.   The unique vision for the nursey comes from owners David Kaleel and Willie Williams supported by the interdisciplinary team of growers, gardeners, artists, chefs, and retail experts.   Nursery in the front garden Students and lecturers enjoyed homemade cakes and a wonderful lunch, but had to ‘sing for their supper’ engaging in discussion and a fun workshop that considered design ideas for further expansion and developments of the nursery and gardens.    For more information: www.darshamnurseries.co...
