As we move forwards, creating spaces for food with communities, we are very aware of creating food for all the communities in the city, and not just humans. Growing in an ecologically friendly way has never been so important, and especially in the parts of the city where there is huge competition for space. The […]
As we head into 2020 we thought it might be good to look back at our achievements in 2019 and look at plans coming in 2020. In many ways 2019 was a difficult year so before we go onto achievements we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone across the city who helped […]
Today we put a pop up edible garden next to the Big Green Week Hub at Harbourside, just next to the fountain steps. The garden is an example of how space can be used, even if it is really limited, by growing plants in containers, and how even in a really tiny space it’s possible to […]
Our lovely friends at Trinity Garden are holding lots of great events and work parties over the summer, and have asked us to let you know about them!! This garden is beautiful and a real green lung in the centre of one of the city’s busiest areas so why not pop along and see what […]
Today we went on a little walk around the gardens in Stokes Croft, including the gardens at Marlborough Hill Street and Spring Hill. Both gardens looked amazing. The trees are thriving on Marlborough Hill Street as are the artichokes and all the wonderful herbs that have been planted there and we really look forward to […]
On the last day of the summer term we went out to St Katherine’s school in Pill to visit an incredible project that is run by the teacher who is the head of the team that teaches Hospitality in the school. St Katherines’s is a secondary school with around 1000 children and they are one […]
The Bristol Bike Project is based, for those of you who don’t know, in the back of Hamilton House and is accessed from City Road just after the turn off from Stokes Croft. It’s an exciting and vibrant part of Bristol but it’s really lacking in any green space. There are no front gardens in […]
Firstly it needs to be said that it takes a lot to knock my horticultural socks off! However, this space really did, and will continue to do so I expect. I visited on the Saturday of the Get Growing Trail, in beautiful sunshine, having already visited 5 other projects, all of which were amazing. […]
The Get Growing Trail is run by the Bristol Food Network each year and is a celebration of many of the food growing and garden projects in the city of Bristol. This year 33 gardens opened their doors all across the city. This year the trail ran in conjunction with the Bristol Chelsea […]
We announced the launch of the Incredible Edible Bristol Front Garden Challenge at our inaugural meeting on 3rd March 2014. The idea is simple (not really a challenge at all!) and ties in beautifully with our vision for the UK’s first edible city. Manicured lawns and prickly, ornamental shrubs have their merits, but they don’t […]
