The Edible Garden team are excited to
announce our weekend activities as part of the Velela! Festival. From Friday
22nd-Sunday 24th June, The Edible Garden will be hosting a series of fun activities and
cooking sessions at The Growing Zone (Children's Park, Locksley St,
Limehouse, E14 7EJ).
Velela! is a two-week creative residency
in London for young artists. This Pop-up Festival produced by Phakama to mark
its fifteenth anniversary takes place from 16-30 June 2012 and involves voices,
talents, expertise and contributions from 100 young people from around the
world. Please see the website for more information: http://www.projectphakama.org/velela
We are very pleased to be joined by the East
End Women's Institute for the morning of the 22nd where we plan to garden, finish building the bread oven with artist
Anna Sikorska and of course, drink lots of tea! We will be in the garden doing
activities until 5pm.
On Saturday 23rd from 11am-5pm there will be a chance to join in several activities, from
story-telling to making weird and wonderful insects and lovely lanterns. There
will be several cooking sessions to get involved with, including making
sourdough, pickling and even foraging for wild greens around the garden!
The festival culminates on Sunday 24th
June from 11am-4pm. There will be more story
telling throughout the day and we would love to hear all your tales too! Anything
from favourite childhood recipes to most memorable meal. We will finish with a marvelous
feast at 2pm consisting of various culinary delights of fish and sourdough
bread cooked in our new clay oven!
Please feel free to join us at any point
during the weekend. The garden is open to all, so do tell your friends and
family. We look forward to seeing you there!
The Edible Garden Team
