Plan, la-nceput de an

Asa arata gradina acum: pomisori imprastiati peste tot, garajul gol si o gradina in gaura de cheie care momentan doar colecteaza compost /// The garden now: small trees everywhere, empty garage and the keyhole garden that for now is only collecting compost

Planul pe 2015: dupa construirea gardului (in aprilie) va creste incet incet si biodiversitatea iar garajul se va transforma in atelier de ceramica, arte, cursuri& expo, etc. ///// 2015 plan: after building the fence(april) little by little there will grow some biodiversity and the garage will become a ceramic & arts studio + exhibitions and workshops space

Overview

La inceputuri. soseaua se termina unde incepea Gradina. orice urma de civilizatie inceta,singur doar zgomotul alb produs de centrala de gaze din vecinatate ne arata ca suntem in spatiu urban.
///
At the begining. the road stops where the garden begins. any trace of civilisation perished, only the white noise of the gas station nearby shows we're in urban space.
