The work was begun by Estelle Rosenfeld (who organised my residency among doing a thousand other roles), with volunteers helping out to get the site tidied, planted and useable. All the School&#8217;s organic waste now feeds the compost heap, the trees have been sympathetically cut back to allow in the light, and two garden-focused artist&#8217;s residencies began in October on the newly transformed ground.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;And I got to build a den!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-66 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sociologistinresidence\/files\/2022\/11\/Den-Love.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"187\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using the felled branches of the trees, I wove together a frame and roof.
