Calling all Saltash citizens who care about the challenges we face in the future in terms of food. We need your help! We are looking for partners in the project and volunteers. Please contact us if you are interested in a local food project - to promote growing-your-own, create community veg growing spaces and to promote local producers.

Guerilla gardening – The raised bed on Fore street next to Cornwall Furniture Re-use Project has been dug over and some strawberries, mint, forget-me-nots and other butterfly plants put in for now. Any ideas for the next guerilla gardening site? Does an unkept area of land somewhere need your attention?

Thursday of the month (check blog for last minute changes!).

Front Garden Veg challenge – titivate your front garden and make it productive!:
Would you like a challenge this growing season?
Do you want to grow vegetables but think ‘I don’t have room’?
Growing-your-own is hugely rewarding and keeps you fit and healthy while saving your well-earned pennies. Convert your front garden, whether it’s an existing bed or planters on a patch of concrete, or put up some window boxes and start a fruit, vegetable or herb garden, large or small, the more inventive the better. Register your project at incredibleediblesaltash@hotmail.co.uk with a photo if possible, and again when completed, for your chance to win a prize! No email? Call 847947. And don’t forget those bee and butterfly friendly flowers for a bit of additional colour! |
