The Incredible Edible Somerset Open Gardens Scheme is designed to show off Somerset’s edible assets, from community orchards to home gardens, with a whole weekend of free workshops & plenty of projects open to the public.

The weekend is a chance to learn new skills, pick up tips, tickle your tastebuds and be inspired by community food growing in Somerset. With more than 135 participating in workshops in 2012 and many more visiting sites, 2013 looks to be even better! To see photos from the weekend last year, click here.

When: Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th September 2013

Where: At community gardens, allotments, fantastic home veg patches, permaculture projects, community orchards, local farms and more across Somerset.

Why: To help people re-connect to food, get involved in local projects & learn new skills.
