Organisers reclaimed the camping grounds dedicated to the
2,000 volunteers who work during the Folk Festival. This land was divided; sown
and different types of produce were planted, all calculated and chosen with their
own unique harvest periods taken into account. A harvesting calendar was
developed and co-ordinated in conjunction with a number of celebratory
festivals to attract more visitors and helpers during these different peak
harvest periods. These festival also acted as information days promoting the
Learning and Development Retreat's teaching facilities and the various educational
programs on offer.
Individuals taking part in these programs and festivals will work
on site for their board and live within the proposed residential precinct. These
facilities will be located upon the site's western hill overlooking the
educational precinct, it will be connected to it and the rest of the village
via landscaping and pathways. The facilities will be made up of a series of
connected dormitories for both the Learning and Development Retreat's teaching
staff and patrons, the precinct will also be used by volunteers during both the
folk festival and the number of small celebratory festivals held
throughout the year. The dormitories are planned to be constructed and
design with simular concepts to that of the educational precinct.
