Should we have more Veggie-Verges in Holme ?

Diana Brown has pioneered the concept of the Veggie-Verge in Holme ( at the side of Tythebarn House B&B).  The concept is quite simple :-

  1. Identify an area of grass or weed covered land that nobody loves
  2. Consider how it could be cultivated - a mix of things to eat and things that look attractive
  3. Tell your neighbours - get them to join in.
  4. Steadily cultivate it - not all at once, just in case you upset someone.
  5. Share the produce, and your enthusiasm with your neighbours.
Simples ?
