Feed Leeds
Earth Day Orchard at Beckett Pocket Beds


We also prepared a veg bed right next to the Inner Ring Road, where Catherine from UoL will start her research into traffic contamination of city-grown veg (the control site is in the walled garden at Harewood House), planted two trees (so they cross pollinate) at the University of Leeds for the launch of the new Priestley International Centre for Climate, and completed the Food Audit that Leeds City Council commissioned from Feed Leeds.

Gardeners Answer Time
Tonight – Monday 8th February, 7pm – 9pm – food growers get together
@ Bedford Fields Community Forest Garden shed
Gardeners answer time!
Bring a question from your garden and we’ll problem solve it together. Share something you’ve been doing that’s exciting or working well so others can try it too!
Some initial thoughts: we’d like to continue learning together and from each other, we’d like to get together to encourage sharing skills/knowledge/resource (physical and other), and we’d like to enthuse each other!
Everyone welcome, from backyard growers, to seasoned allotmenteers. This is for whoever wants to come. If you have food growing needs/interests/ideas, please bring them to the group! It is what we make it.
We’ll meet every new moon; following meeting Wednesday 9th March. Please don’t be discouraged if you’re not interested in planting by the moon; its a handy scheduling tool!
You can call Rita 078378 00579 if you’re not sure where to find us/get lost this eve.

Back to Front had this great idea, and they suggested that Feed Leeds should set up Leeds Rotters as a permanent network and resource for composters. We are, as usual, delighted to be able to help.

Pocket Beds Vandal Fail

And thanks to the wonderful chaps up at Redhall Nurseries, here is the replacement sign 🙂

Watch this space for additional research beds coming, we hope, soon.
Cooking in the Potting Shed
We’ve moved the Potting Shed (that’s our page / blog for growers) to a new corner of the garden.
As you can see in the menu bar, we now have a new page within the main website called Kitchen. This is where we can all share our thoughts and expertise around cooking (and eating things raw, of course).
