Arundel Forest Garden
CONSTITUTION:
A group for the organization and economics of the Edible Forest Garden at Arundel, West Sussex.
The Arundel Forest Garden is defined as an example that provides food (medicine), shelter and good company in abundance for free, harmlessly, working in conscious co-creation with the nature intelligences as exemplified here: (easy - www.EdibleForestGardens.com (workbooks) - The Perelandra Garden Workbooks - www.Findhorn.org).
The garden is protected by the five Buddhist precepts for harmlessness that made it's coming into being possible. (http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ptf/dhamma/sila/pancasila.html)
This is just a facebook group for communication - to become a member of the garden you need to create an account on the Beacon Bank Community Exchange www.Community-Exchange.org under UK exchanges.
Add Gardening as your offering and anything else you feel like exchanging.
We use this system to sign people up to the principles of the garden and record what is in the garden, what goes in and out of the garden and others so we build up a genetic library and store house of available goods and services that can all be exchanged in mutual credit (not barter).
Members of the Exchange are subject to the principles of the exchange and once you have joined the exchange this serves as your contract of agreement to adhere to these principles [] within the garden so we know that there is the most slight opportunity for harm to come to you, to others, that the garden will be as beneficial for children as possible and the most conducive environment is had for the cultivation of our consciousness and thereby connecting and honoring the life in the garden by keeping our vessels clear to recieve the purest water that is naturally offered.
This group is where we will be organising the "planties", planting parties and co-operative gardening practices. This will be discussed more at the planties but it combines what we can grow at home, with what good fun is then possible when we come together...
A certain percentage of our produce will be left to go to seed so that we can trade in seed in the Beacon Bank Seed Exchange (BBSE) another group on this Exchange.
Please use this group to record what you put in and take out of the garden to we can map out how well each aspect is doing.
The Garden Journal can be found here and is for people to update what they have been busy with in the garden.
A Map & photos of the garden can be seen here

We so look forwards to becoming this all important example with you and welcome your feedback and assistance.
