Local Food

Veg in Beds 2010

 

As part of our campaign to get everyone in and around Saltash growing

at least a few of their own vegetables the Town Council gave us

permission to plant vegetables and herbs amongst the flowers in

all the town planters in Fore St. We followed this up with a

competition 'Spot the Veg in Beds'. The competition is free and forms

are available from Piglets, The Bookshelf and A&N Health Foods. Entries

must be in by Saturday 17th July but vegetables will continue to be

found in the beds all summer. While you are out shopping in Fore St

 have a look and see what you can identify! We have been amazed by

 how well the vegetables are doing. Our thanks to the nearby shops who

 are acting as guardians and making sure the beds nearest their shops are

watered and looked after
 

Making Saltash Greener - Transition Fortnight

Making Saltash Greener is the name of a two week festival which will take place in Saltash in East Cornwall from 11th until 26th September 2010.

Saltash is one of a number of Cornish Transition Towns where local environmental groups have got together to look at ways the community will prepare for Peak Oil through a number of ways including looking at low impact living and other green living intiatives.

Other West Country towns that have joined the Transition movement include Totnes in Devon and Falmouth in Cornwall.

Local artists have felt inspired to join in with the Transition Fortnight by running art workshops and designing posters,cards and flags to adorn the town.The artist's group has its own website thebigsaltashpictureshow.com

About SEA

The SEA group was formed in 2007

We aim to work alongside the whole community in creating a more sustainable environment and in preparing for the inevitable changes which will occur in our world over the next decades as a result of climate change and the reduced supply of oil, gas and other resources.

We are joining the wider Transition Network to help build a resilient, healthy community in harmony with nature and with an awareness of how our actions here in Saltash and the surrounding villages affect the whole planet.

Amoungst many initiatives, we have been working on ways to reduce energy use and the waste we throw away. With the help of shops and the support of the Town COuncil we have minimised the use of plastic bags in Saltash with a 'Say NO to Plastic Bags' campaign. With the Saltash Card promoted by the Gateway CIC we are encouraging people to shop locally and buy local produce wherever possible.

This autumn we paln to hold a series of meetings and films to introduce everyone to the idea of Transition and the actions and projects that will flow from this new approach to our future.
