Edible Streets

Why have grass verges and ornamental shrubs on your street when you can grow and share fruit, veg, herbs and flowers?

Incredible Edible is a community gardening project that supports growing in public spaces for everyone to share. It’s fun, healthy, reduces your carbon footprint and plastic packaging and is a great way to meet your neighbours.

How to do it

Totnes has a long established Incredible Edible project with planting across town. You could either get involved with an existing planting area near you or Incredible Edible Totnes can support you to create a new planting in your street. We can link you up with volunteers who would be keen to help you do this.
