This weekend is another important occasion for Incredible Edible Rossendale.

On Saturday and Sunday we are planting at the Valley Centre in Rawtenstall town centre.  Another great spot for us to plant in a very public area.

The Council have given us a large walled garden, and, the perimeter of a huge meeting area.

In the walled garden we plan to plant fruits – redcurrants, raspberries, gooseberries, blueberries, rhubarb and strawberries.
