Hi all,

Just a note to say, Nadia of the GROFUN initiative (growing real organic food in urban neighbourhoods) is having a meeting for those interested tomorrow (Tuesday) to outline the plan. Basically it involves combining gardens in Montpelier to create various growing spaces. The produce from these will then be pooled and everyone involved in growing will receive a weekly veg box for free! - well, in return for a couple of hours gardening.

 

She wants the scheme to be confined to Montpelier at first for those contributing garden space, but will need some willing volunteers to help on work days to get it up and running. I think this is an idea worth supporting and as far as I know nothing else like this is happening in Bristol, or even the UK? It's the ultimate in promoting locally produced food and re-connecting people with the land and their neighbourhoods.

 

So, I'll be attending the meeting and anybody else that wants to come along; it's at 24 York Rd in Montpelier, at 7:30pm, tomorrow. It would be helpful if you let me know if your likely to be coming as Nadia has asked for an idea of numbers.

 

okay, thanks for reading and more on this to come... stay tuned!

cha cha.
