Garden Sharing Project to be launched by Frome Town Council and Sustainable Frome. Do you have spare land you could let an enthusiastic veg grower use? Or are you an aspiring veg grower looking for land? If so, come along to the open evening on 22nd September at Frome Town Council (See diary) or reply to this email.
New Book: Local food: How to make it happen in your community. An excellent book packed with information about how you can get a local food initiative going locally. Lots of inspiring cases studies and a wealth of useful resources in a section at the back. Every local food enthusiast should have one. Either order your copy from www.greenbooks.co.uk for £12.95 or email me to let me know you want a copy and we can put in a bulk order and save money.
Veg swap website. If you have too many beans/tomatoes/courgettes etc and want to find someone who can use them, a new website has started which will match people with veggies to offer with people who want them. See: www.vegswap.co.uk
Would you like to see any of these things happening in Frome?:
Local fruit and nut trees being planted on public land?
A Sustainable Frome response to the Government’s Food Security Assessment?
A local gardening group starting up in your street to help you get going growing your own food?
IF SO, COME TO THE SFFLG DISCUSSION GROUP ON THE THIRD TUESDAY OF THE MONTH (SEE DIARY DATES) OR REPLY TO THIS POSTING.
