Hi David
I found the blogging great fun last year and a good way of keeping in touch with everyone. Will you publish links to this year's blogs so those of us who still check the blogs can watch the progress of the new bloggers?
Thanks

Well, we (the Garden Design teaching team) were invited to contribute a short article to the “Pass notes” section of the Garden Design Journal. The aim of that section is to provide students with useful small chunks of information relevant to their studies. Previous articles have included; Creative Thinking, Work Experience and Tutorials. Since we feel we are doing something new and interesting with the blog project, we felt that it would be ideal for “Pass notes”. Why keep a good idea to yourself? So, Annie was quite right in her comment; our aim was indeed to “communicate the idea of this (potentially successful) exercise to students and tutors of other colleges who might want to try it out”. Unfortunately, I did not foresee the reaction that this would elicit. The fiercest reactions were from thos...
