Down at Worthy Farm the midsummer sun kept the Nutshell Crew
happy as we created our third Nutshell Garden... Green Futures have promoted us
and we were given a 20’ x 20’ plot just at the entrance to the field. In front
of us were the three lovely ponds and beside us the wooden entrance arch. Everyone
worked hard and the garden was complete by Tuesday ready for the start of the
festival on Wednesday.
The previous Wednesday was spent setting up camp in the
Undleground. This was a logistical jigsaw but by sundown it was sorted and the
storage and kitchen gazebos were up and functional. We spent the evenings
sitting around our firedrum where Brian kept us entertained with his country
and folk songs.
We held a sad little ceremony under the King’s Oak in remembrance
of our friend Steffan who died tragically just before the festival and also
scattered the ashes of former Nutshell Crew member Gary under that ancient
tree..
Everyone is agreed that this years garden was the best to
date..
