Collaborative working with Edinburgh University-Department of Engineering.

We are delighted that Edinburgh University Engineering Department are to help with a specific project within our show garden design.  The garden is called 'The Readers Imagination Garden', and part of the garden's design is based upon a rotating Chesterfield chair.  The inspiration for this came from the rotating writing shed that belonged to George Bernard Shaw.  Colin who is studying mechanical engineering at Edinburgh and is in his 4th year, has taken on this challenge as a final year project.  We had a successful meeting with Colin today, and have great hopes for the task that he has offered to take on.
