It was mentioned last year, and, as all Incredible Edible projects, it isn't 'all talk'.

The Incredible Edible Network is now in place.  From its humble beginnings in 2008, Incredible Edible is now a real embodiment of its ethos ‘the power of small ideas’.

Have a look at the website here, and, get involved.…

Another Incredible Edible School!

Some great pictures showing the children (and helpers) and Waterfoot Primary School:…

I've found a really good website which collates stories which are 'tweeted' on Twitter by anyone that is connected to Incredible Edible Rossendale.

It then puts them into a newspaper type page and issues it for all to see.

If you follow us on Twitter ( @IERossendale ) then you may well have seen it already.  If not, then you can have a look here:…

Is there a location near you that you can help look after?…

Since announcing less than two weeks ago, we have already have several Schools telling us what they're doing.

Photos of BRGS have already been posted, with more from the other Schools to follow.

Why not ask your childrens' School if they would like a mention on our site?  Great publicity for everyone!

A few weeks ago, Joanna and I visited the Edible Garden Show at the one-time National Agricultural Centre at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire.

It was a great day, and, we thoroughly recommend it to anyone (we'll probably visit again in 2013!).

Whilst we were there, we listened to Paul Peacock (a regular on panelist on BBC Radio 4’s Gardener’s Question Time), give talks…

Our friends from Burnley were featured in the local newspapers last week.

Well done Rob, keep up the Incredible work!…

Another beautiful day!!  I'm just off to collect 100 edible saplings from Stubbylee in Bacup, given to IER by The Woodland Trust .  We'll be planting them in Helmshore tomorrow with a group of pupils from Helmshore County Primary School. 

Right now,  daffodils are flowering opposite Sunnybank Social Club that were planted by some of the school's pupils a good 10-15 years ago and looking beautiful in this sunshine - definitely not edible, but beautiful! 

The school is…

Those wonderful people from Incredible Edible Todmorden will be featured on next weeks edition of Inside Out North West on BBC1 Monday, 27 February to "meet the community using public spaces such as graveyards to grow fruit and veg."  Please tune in (or record) and see what an Incredible job they do, and, what we aspire to.…

Incredible Edible Rossendale, would like to invite you to participate in   Incredible Edible at Work.

The idea is very, very simple. Workplaces in the Valley simply grow something(s) edible on any of their land – a fruit tree, berries, salads crops, the list is endless. There is no excuse for not growing anything – if you don’t have any land, you certainly have windowsills where you can grow lettuce, rocket, or herbs. You can grow tomatoes…

Our guide for the day, the wonderful Estelle, walked us from Mary's garden, along the canal bank and back through Todmorden for a well-earned rest at the Bear Cafe.

The Sun shone on us all afternoon, and, a great Good Friday was had by all.

BIG thanks to Estelle, Pam and Jane for their…
