Joy’s Story

It gives me a great sense of achievement being part of Incredible Edible. I’ve become more active, become part of an amazing team and learnt to grow a variety of vegetables from seed. I’m working with a team and have regained a sense of self-worth.

The knowledge amongst our team is fantastic! I’ve learnt how to plant saplings, built a dead hedge, helped build our pond and planted bulbs. I’ve gained knowledge on composting and the steps to organise and set up events within the wildlife area.

I’m totally relaxed and at ease within the wildlife area and appreciate nature growing food for our community. I’ve helped and watched it transform to a space where we can all enjoy the wonders of nature with pathways, an area for holding events, a den building area and wildlife cameras to capture our birds, hedgehogs and more.
