the coldframe, that icon of the victorian kitchen garden, is a fine tool not only for extending the gardening season and increasing local food security, not only for adapting to climate change and creating the flourishing future we want to see, but also, embodying the simple yet transformative actions of the relocalising movement.
four-season gardening, increasing local food security, growing your own fresh, nutrient-dense, organic, healthy greens without packaging, towards a zerowaste garden and kitchen, these are all great reasons to build a simple coldframe from reclaimed materials.
i give you the latest in the journal of small work* film series, on adaptation and relocalisation, as illustrated by the coldframe.
this episode also provides another example of the frameworks illustrated in the previous three films, like appropriate technology, downshifting, and pattern language.
if this is the sort of work that appeals to the way you’d like to live, you can get on the appleturnover mailing list to hear when new films, shorts, podcasts, newsletters, interviews, q & a’s and mentorship calls are happening

for those who'd like to go deeper, watch the subtitles for the asterisk that indicates texts that inform the small work*, which i've included as book titles or links.
i hope that you love ‘coldframe’. if you do, i'd be honoured if you'd share it with your people.
