Incredible Edible

The Incredible Edible resumed last month and will continue throughout the spring and summer months.

With the easing of lockdown restrictions, we'd love to see more people in the community who want to help out with a little bit of weeding and preparing the beds for planting. The gardens are for everyone to share, to eat the edible goodness that we grow and enjoy the colourful flowers that help to brighten up our town.

Please check out the TTT website for events and come and join us. No regular commitment is expected, just turn up when you feel like it. We supply all the tools - please bring your own work gloves. Everyone is welcome.

Unfortunately, we have had to cancel all Incredible Edible Events in January due to the current lockdown. Please check the TTT events page after restrictions have eased to see what we're up to.

This summer's warmth and sunshine has blessed the small community gardens of TTT Incredible Edible, with an abundance of herbs, vegetables, fruit and edible flowers, as well as many happy picnics and gardening sessions for the volunteers.

Small but faithful groups of folk continue to tend the Rockery, Steamer quay planters and Rowing Club beds, as well as Fernbank. Occasionally travellers from other parts of the world join us to lend a hand.

Last weekend we enjoyed the first harvesting session at the Follaton arboretum and Town cemetery, with lots of new volunteers, recently moved to Totnes to join in. We picked up masses of windfall apples, and took away a good harvest from a loaded damson tree, leaving much fruit to be enjoyed by those visiting the orchards in that part of town over the next few weeks.

Our weekly session at the Steamer Quay planters will finish at the end of September, although monthly sessions at Borough Park, Fern Bank, and the sessions at the Follaton Forest Garden will continue into autumn.

For more information on volunteering at any of the Incredible Edible growing sites please email incred@transitiontowntotnes.org or just turn up to any of the sessions listed on the TTT events page.
