Inspired by similar schemes in Sheffield and Manchester, Beeston Transition Initiative has started working on an abundance project. The idea is to harvest produce that is growing wild or is surplus to requirements and that would otherwise go to waste. The fruit (or veg) is then distributed to individuals and organisations who need it. This year our harvest was small as we started very late, but next year we hope to have a much bigger harvest to share.
So.... in readiness for next year, if you have fruit or vegetables in your garden and expect to have a surplus, or if you are physically unable to pick it, please get in touch! We will come and harvest it for you, and you will get the first share. Similarly, if you know of fruit that's growing wild and going to waste, please let us know.
If you are involved in an organisation that would like to receive fruit and vegetables, please email us by using the form on the contact page, and we will make sure you are included when we distribute the harvest.
