Something Incredible Has Just Happened In Coventry

Incredible Edible Coventry Was Born Today.!





We have plenty of good reasons to come together & work together for a better future and what better thing to unite us than FOOD. The cost of our food today is beyond a joke. Getting involved with incredible edible we can take some of the strain off ourselves, save money and eat pure untainted food that is grown by local people, for local people, for no cost other than a little time spent nurturing the food that we plant.

We are organizing voluntary work party’s to go out and gorilla garden, planting food in places where the land is crying out for free food to be grown. This could be waste grounds, communal gardens, old folks homes, ect

We are not asking can we grow here we are going to grow here for the benefit of our local community, if we all get off our ass and do our bit the big corporate monsters will no longer have a place in our towns. We aim to produce local produce and keep our trade with local farmers and other local suppliers of food bring the wealth back to our community and not to the rich corporates pocket.

The list of possibility’s are endless. Claim land, build training centers to teach our kids how to grow food and nurture livestock, how to be self sufficient an art long lost to so many.

The future we have in front of us is an abundance of free food and a new sense of community spirit that the banksters and corrupt leaders can not break.

Take action now no matter how small because, You can never under estimate what can be accomplished through the power of small actions.

So if you are in the Coventry area and you want to be a part of something incredible please drop me a message and we can hook up, seeds / spades in hand of course lolly

Incredible Edible Coventry Was Born Today.!

it's been running several years hasn't it?

(from the link below)

...using innovative urban design to produce food in a challenging [urban] setting, demonstrating how sustainability, food security and environmental quality can be achieved in creative, functional corners of the community

Turning tricky public corners into edible treasure troves.

That is such an important message ^.
That we can have food security by growing some of our own food ourselves, with the land we have. We don't need GM, we don't need artificial fertilisers, we don't need huge fields.

Hi Yes Incredible has been running for a few years but We have just started up Incredible Edible Coventry we have been taken under the wing of Incredible Todmorden who help and advise how best to get up and running in your own community.

[lolly2012]

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support, we are so excited about the possibility's growing your own food as a community brings, Its great to get involved for both young and old alike, we have huge ideas and are growing steadily in numbers.

I hope our post will inspire others to start Incredible groups within their own local areas and lets get back that sense of community, keeping business local, buying local produce and making our little towns thrive as they once did when I was a small child.

I totally agree We certainly do not need GM for me its not an option and we don't need huge fields if each and every one of us took just a little part of our gardens for growing our own food and utilized spare/waste land there would be more food than we could eat saving local people pounds in these very uncertain times.

I'm sorry, people, I really am - I have tried everso hard to let this one go since Lolly posted this last night, but I can't help it!

You got Big Mallly working on this one?

Good luck with the project, Lolly, and apologies for infantile sense of humour!
