As a result of the coming together of minds at TTK's open space event on 7th March a new initiative has been created to bring the community together to share their growing experiences. It is hoped that through The Edible Garden Network local ameteur veg growers of all levels of experience will be able to share their skills, resources and work load. The network hopes to hold regular garden 'meets' in members gardens where jobs can be tackled in the spirit if community and cooperation.
What better way to spend an afternoon than to be gaining excercise, friendship and practical skills. Through the sharing of garden activities we can learn a lot more about varying growing techniques and hopefully go away with some helpful tips about how we can make our own garden more productive. Better still, members of the network will be able to call their own 'meet' and so spread their work load between friends.
In the light of Peak oil, climate change and the current economic situation more and more people are growing their own food. TTK is active in promoting local small scale food production and sees such activity as vital to creating a resiliant community. The garden network will help further this as well as strengthening community ties and building friendships.
The network is looking for members, message Aimi Pinder on this site or attend the 'grow your own' event on 21st march to get your name on the list!
