Number two in our CCF series of carbon footprint busting events. Food can involve a lot of airmiles and road miles, not to mention pesticides and packaging. What could be greener and more local than growing your own veg and carrying it a few yards to your table? Once you’ve gone to all that effort you don’t want to waste any either, so come along and get all your questions answered.
Kitchen Canny
Kitchen Canny is a fabulous project from Changeworks aiming to get us all throwing away less of that hard grown/transported/cooked food. Come along to find out more and pick up your FREE Kitchen Canny Kit.
Master Composters
Is your compost heap just a mass of weeds or a horrible slimey mess, then you need some a advice on how to improve your composting from trained Master Composters!
Seed Swap
Who would not want FREE seeds. Bring along any left over seeds from last year, or ones you have saved yourself and swap them for something new and maybe exciting.
Advice on growing your own vegetables
It can be daunting starting your first vegetable plot. Where should you put it? What to start growing? When to start planting? Those packets always say February/early March, maybe ok for Cornwall, but here it is still snowing! Get some advice from experienced, LOCAL vegetable growers, who can tell you where, what and when is best for Haddington veg.
Haddington Allottments
Have you already started your veg plot, and outgrown it? Or maybe you only have a window sill? We want to know if there is a demand for allottments in Haddington, and if there is let the council know about it. Come and add your name to the list.
Fruit Mapping
We all know of an apple tree bursting with fruit, which is left to rot. Come and help us put them all on the map. Once we have located them, we hope to harvest that unwanted fruit and make the most of it. So we also need people to pick it, turn it into jam/pies or pickles and then distribute it. If you are an ace apple pie baker or bramble picker we need you!
Kids Stuff
Foodie fun and games for the kids, maybe even a little planting?
