What is Incredible Edible?
A volunteer group in association with SAP Garden Club inspired by Incredible Edible Movement UK to plant food (herbs, vegetables, fruit trees) in public spaces around St. Anthony park for everyone to share.
Why it's important
By planting food together, we get to know our neighbors, share our talents, share food and pass on our knowledge and enthusiasm to our kids.
Who's invited
Everyone! No green thumbs required! We need people with all sorts of skills who are willing to help and be part of the community.
How you can help
Projects
The Herb Garden by the Library is a big hit. Besides beautiful herb landscaping and the aroma, we harvest baskets of free herbs to share with the community on Tuesdays from August to October.
The Berry and Pollinator Garden by the College Park tennis courts includes delectable yellow raspberries, refreshing currants, flavorful alpine strawberries, and a North Star cherry tree. We're looking forward to the harvest so all can enjoy!
The Berry and Pollinator Garden outside the Park & Rec building at Langford Park. Currants, strawberries, and flowering plants fill this round bed.
The Hendon Triangle Apple Tree Project has taken root! Under the guidance of garden club members, local boy scouts planted five trees donated from the Friends School Plant Sale in 2017. It usually takes three to five years to first produce fruit.
