Another growing party is going on at the Old Aviary, Vivary Park on Saturday 5th September at 10.30am.

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,  hostas, jacobs ladder, marshmallow, globe artichoke, cardoon, and lungwort.

The inspiration for this bed is Martin Crawford’s Forest Garden…

So bring along a trowel and gloves and enjoy some gardening and planning what to do next.
