VISIT TO 'INCREDIBLE EDIBLES' TODMORDEN

The trip to Todmorden to have a look at their 'Incredible Edibles' project happened on Sunday, although we didn't have as many people come on the minibus as we were hoping for, the trip went well and lots was learned. 

There where many things that 'Incredible Edibles' do in Todmorden that could be spread across the Tees Valley including ripping out council shrub beds and replacing them with vegetable and herb beds.

The first place we visited was an area that had been transformed from a rubbish dump and rough ground next to the canal into a growing and propogating area for Todmorden.

Once we arrived in Todmorden there were many beds located throughout the town
