A big thank you to all the people who turned out to help build the plastic bottle greenhouse at Serenity Community Garden in Phibsborough, on Saturday 3rd December 2011. Those who volunteered managed to organise themselves into separate workgroups which undertook complimentary tasks on a complex project very efficiently. This occurred without much oversight, and any casual observer would have thought that we all knew what we were doing! Even though it was a cold day everyone stuck at it until all the plastic bottles were used up.
