Rossendale garden launch...

Lots of exciting things have been happening whilst I've been on my holidays. Last week saw the launch of the medicinal herb garden at Rossendale Museum. Over 150 braved the rain to come and celebrate at the event which included an opening speech by BBC The One Show's garden expert Christine Walkden, stalls by local food producers and guided walks around the park with local herbalists. Local group Incredible Edible who have planted a community garden next to the herb patch did a great job organising the event, you can see what they do and how you can get involved with them here. The garden is looking great, and you can now buy a DIY medicinal herb kit for £1 from the museum shop, which invites you to go and pick the herbs for yourself. We are so pleased with the response we are busy planning another event in October, more details as it is confirmed!
