We are progressing much faster than expected, as opportunities open. We have drawn together project proposals for funding applications and are looking into several potential sites in Totnes for a garden. We welcome more input from anyone with an interest in growing healthy plants.

We have been invited to visit the medicinal herb garden at Embercombe and hope to plan a group trip over there soon: http://www.embercombe.co.uk/
