Growing Taunton @ Vivary Park

Another growing party is going on at the Old Aviary, Vivary Park on Saturday 4th July. 10.30 am

The aim of Growing Taunton is to get more fruit and vegetables in our public spaces. We promote how everyone can have access to local, sustainable food.

There are no members only the motto: ‘If you eat, you are in.’

The Old Aviary, Vivary Park – if you come in through the main park gates and bear right and follow the path around.  On the right you will see a raised bed surrounded by trees near the picnic tables.  This the Old Aviary. In this spot you will find medicinal, culinary and edible plants.  Currently growing is an assortment of mints, rosemary, lemon balm, goats rue, angelica, sweet ciciely, sweet woodruff, wild garlic, hostas, jacobs ladder, marshmallow, globe artichoke, cardoon, lungwort, and wild strawberries.

So bring along a trowel and gloves and enjoy some planting and hopefully some harvesting!

The next Growing Taunton event will be on Sat 1st August in Somerset Square (between the Brewhouse and the Somerset Cricket Ground – the planters have all sorts of vegetables growing; sweetcorn, broad bean, peas, french beans, pumpkin, courgettes, strawberries, radish, and nasturtium. Same time of 10.30 am.
    I am down there at Somerset Square sometimes after work – Mon-Fri – at about 6 or 6.30 watering the plants if they are looking dry.
