New Year, New Food Mood!! 🌾🪴🌱

We hope you've had an inspiring start to the year. Today we got to see the first community planter of the Oxford Brookes University Edible Streets Project, move in to Malford Road in Barton. It was wet, it was windy, but with added support from local residents of the street, it was a success 👏🏽 We look forward to following and supporting the project over the coming months and year.

We're also super excited for continued creativity at Edible Cutteslowe, with the much more open and opportunistic start of 2022! We'll be calling out for new volunteers, preparing for spring, supporting new growing spaces, spreading the joy of growing food accross our community and connecting with others around the city.

Stay tuned for ways you can get involved, either out in the community or at home 🤝🏼🌍
