Just a quick post to say what an incredible week we all had during Greengaged last week. Thanks to all five of our curators, and their extensive list of participating speakers! And, of course thanks to everyone who came to the events of last week. We have had an incredible response and thank everyone who took part. We have a big list of blog posts and articles in the pipeline now, not to mention more events and of course our involvement at Icograda next month. Whilst we collate all the information and get the blog rolling, do check out our flickr channel to see the happenings of last week, and connect with us on Twitter too!
