Samhain blessings to all our local folks and those too who may not be local 💚 Samhain is a Gaelic celebration of the drawing in of winter and the closing of harvest time. A time to share wares in readiness for the colder darker months ahead, tales of success and the not so successful events and experiences of the year that's been and a time to share visions and aspirations for the forth coming year ahead. It feels like a great year for Incredible Edible Alvechurch, with more fruitful arrivals yet to come. So we pose the question what would you like to see next year? The pictures posted are of the Skibereen school garden over on The Green Isle of Ireland, inspired and aided by Incredible Edible the garden has helped benifit over 220 pupils. Helping to re-connect children with their food, the elements and the wider circle of life that is our eco-system is something we are passionate about here at IEA. Built and maintained by the staff, the pupils and volunteers through out the community it would be a venture worthy of attaining at our own Crown Meadow and the Middle School. If this is something you'd like to see and have any skills or time you could share we'd love to hear from you. Imagine our own children establishing healthy relationships with thier diet, the Earth and each other. The joys of green fingers and a passion for growing. Much love to all of you, many thanks to those who have helped make this year a great start for the villages Incredible Edible journey and as you sit around the fire this winter please spend a wee bit of time discussing the possibilties of greener, brighter future for all of us. Stay blessed, keep warm and we'll see you soon for more updates and whole hearted winter goodness. Peas and love IEA 💚🍎🍇🌈🌠Photos from Incredible Edible Alvechurch's postwww.facebook.com

Introducing the proposed plans for the new "Incredible Edible" raised beds and borders in The Village Precinct. We'll leave a link in comments so you can see what the proposed raised bed construction will look like. The plans are still open to both suggestions and change. Come and join us next Wednesday evening at The Weighbridge, we'd love to hear your thoughts, we'd welcome your feedback and we'd really appreciate you coming on board as an Incredible Edible Alvechurch (IEA) volunteer. Incredible Edible, planting seeds our future selves will thank us for 💚🍎🍇🌽🍆🌠

Moving through to the latter end of an "Incredible" summer here in Alvechurch, we are really pleased to be able to share some exciting news and some incredibly fresh and tasty locally grown organic produce 💚 The Team who manage The Square or The Precinct as some know it (the paved section which contains the Co-Op, The Lounge and Gin and Pickles) have given I.E.A. the go ahead for a raised bed and fruit bushes to be installed and planted within the existing flower bed that runs the length of the paved section. I.E.A. require a team of volunteers who are willing to take responsibility for the venture, and also discuss the plans and arrange the details of when and how the beds and bushes will be installed. So we're pleased then to announce a harvest time knees up on Wednesday the 19th of September, in The Weighbridge at 7:30 p.m. We'll post details of the proposed beds in the next few days here on Facebook and if there's anything you'd like to add, discuss or share, then either message us here or come and join us at The Weighbridge. Your help and support would be very much welcomed as is the help and support we have already recieved. Please help yourself to the tomatoes in Tanyard Lane Car Park, there is an abundance of fruit, they are of the yellow variety and they taste so, so good. All we'd ask is that you enjoy them and maybe have an "Incredible Edible" conversation yourselves and come and join us on the 19th of this month at The Weighbridge. Peas and love and Incredible Edible 💚🌽🍎🍇🍆🍓🍑Photos from Incredible Edible Alvechurch's postwww.facebook.com

Incredible Edible Alvechurch are pleased as plants with their first installment. Many thanks to all of the Incredible Edible Elves that helped and supported the project and many thanks to everyone who passed by and offered their kind words of both encouragement and support. We're keeping our eyes open for some basil and have a few pepper plants on their way. We'd also love a little IEA signage for the bed, so if you're a budding artist we'd really appreciate your help. And the tomato plants have asked if you'd check them over for green fly if ever your passing, many hands and all... Fresh local Incredible Edible produce soon to be available in a car park near you 💚 🌿 🌍

We've recieved some great news a few days ago, pleased with progress and also looking forward to sharing that news and fresh produce with you. We're so pleased and also aware that growing season is well and truly upon us, that a small group of Elves has installed a small raised bed in Tanyard Lane Car Park. We've had some tomato plants, broad beans and onions kindly donated for the bed, we'd love some basil if you had any spare and some compost to help us grow. The Elves will be about the Car Park today, so if you wanted to drop by and say hi or bring a bag or barrow of the goodstuff or a bunch of basil, we'd love to see you. If the Elves aren't around you can call 077849 44666. Peas and love and blessed sunny days IEA 🌿💚🌍

We're looking forward to seeing you all this evening 7:30 at The Weighbridge. The Incredible Edible Alvechurch journey continues 💚 🌿 🌍
