Incredible Edible Knowsley

Lovely day on site today. We made some floral head garlands from flowers on site. Meet one of our new site managers Keith-Kai Cavanagh checking out the work the other site managers have done. He doesn't think they've done a good enough job and is having to do a bit of digging himself. He also did some site tours as he didn't think they'd been given correctly either 🤣🤣🤣Photos from Incredible Edible Knowsley's post

A big thank you to Councillor Graham Morgan who has been supporting the food club and our project to support the community. Bob one of our site managers donating saplings to the community. We are giving away Dog Rose, Rosewood, Crab Apple and Hawthorn. We still have some left for anybody wishing to plant a tree.Photos from Incredible Edible Knowsley's post

Tomorrow our community food club is open from 12pm till 2pm but we are asking for you to book a time slot so we don't have too many people at one time so that we can be mindful to Covid restrictions. We are looking to opening the food club more days which means we won't need to do time slots but for those who would like to book a time you can. 10 items £3.50 15 items £5 Alice a student from Chester University from human nutrition is making soup and people are more than welcome to sample some, whilst it lasts. She will give you the recipe and tell you the nutrition to this for those who would like it. More trees have been donated to schools across Knowsley, a big thank you to Councillors Graham Morgan and Colin Dever who have taken these to the schools

Morning all Don't forget to check your emails. There are still quite a few people who haven't collected their seedlings yet. The rest of the deliveries will be made today for those who opted for this choice in Knowsley. Collection for today is 11.30am till 3pm If you can't make it during that time email Nicole and she will arrange another time with you. If you haven't had an email.and it's not gone to your junk folder but wish to check if you're on the list you can email me [email protected] and/or [email protected] We still have some from over 2 weeks ago still not collected. If we've had no response or collection by Monday we will need to give them to the next people on the list some are ready for their new homes. If you would like the information sheets emailing over, let us know and we will send these to youPhotos from Incredible Edible Knowsley's post

Morning all Nicole has emailed everyone regarding seedling collections. Deliveries will be done this week for those who chose delivery for the Knowsley area Schools and groups that ordered will be getting organised today and Nicole will be in touch later. These seedlings are for those who ordered in January, February and possibly March. For those who ordered towards the end of March and in April, these won't be ready yet but Nicole will be in touch soon to update you. This year we decided to give you a choice out of around 28 seedling selections rather than just giving you what was ready that week. By choosing you get a choice and a lot more. You can also reorder again and have more once we have given everyone their seedlings. This way you get to do successional planting. By giving you a choice it means we only start getting your seedlings ready once we know what you want so we don't end up with a lot of wastage. I'm thinking maybe after all these orders have gone out, we just sow seeds and have days once restrictions have been lifted that people can come to site and choose a selection that is available. For those that can't make it to the Park, we will email you what is on offer and you can select so they can be delivered to you. Volunteers are working really hard to get these to you as soon as possible as we know how much you are looking forward to growing and how much growing can make people feel better in themselves. Workshops will be provided on site too with a place to have a brew and a chat. We'll be hosting our first event at the beginning of July and will be letting you know more on this next weekPhotos from Incredible Edible Knowsley's post
