Doing our bit for the bees in West Swindon. Buff tailed, white tailed, red tailed and garden bumblebees - along with a hoverfly that, sadly, was not paying attention.Photos from Incredible Edible Swindon's postwww.facebook.com

The toothill beds are live! The first Crafty Gardeners session and we planted beans, sweetcorn, tomatoes and a pumpkin and sowed carrots.

Have you been past the Central Community Centre lately? Our little garden is really starting to look lovely! Many more beautiful flowers are planned for this year too, as we’ve decided to just grow pollinator-friendly flowers rather than veg. A buffet for the bees rather than people! 😊 🐝 🦋 🌸🌼🌻💚

If you’re interested in the idea of Swindon becoming a Transition Town, there is a meeting coming up on Wednesday 12th June at Central Community Centre. Please see poster for further details, including who to contact should you have any queries.Photos from Incredible Edible Swindon's postwww.facebook.com

Some fantastic beds now stand at Toothill Church waiting for all the lovely veg. Huge thank you to all that helped and Toothill Tinies and Toothill Big Local. If you live close by they are starting a community gardening group - Crafty Gardeners.Photos from Incredible Edible Swindon's postwww.facebook.com

No mention of pocket money, either! Remember the bees in your spring plantings.Bees Trees & Seaswww.facebook.com

We had our first gardening session at the Central Community Centre this evening and it also just happens to be #nationalgardeningweek! There are some beautiful flowers out already including these gorgeous aquilegias that come back year after year. We’re planning to grow just flowers this year, so everything is edible but for our precious pollinators only! There are some herbs there though of course, which you are welcome to pick. In fact there is plenty of mint and oregano in particular so please help yourselves to those. And then get ready for a floriferous summer at the Central Community Centre! 🌷🌻🌺🌹🌼💐 Incredible EdiblePhotos from Incredible Edible Swindon's postwww.facebook.com
