Episode 149: Incredible Edible\xa0is an urban gardening project in Todmorden, England. Started in 2008, as a conversation between friends and envisioned as a revolution of kindness, Incredible Edible\xa0has transformed the market town of Todmorden into an edible oasis.
In this interview, Incredible Edible's\xa0co-founder Mary Clear tells the story of how she and her friends turned their worry and fear into action by planting food in public places; potatoes and kale at the Railway Station, runner beans in front of the Health Centre, and corn outside the police department.
Mary tells us about the project's\xa0economic impact, vegetable tourism, and the power that comes when you have no money,\xa0no paid staff, no buildings, and no public funding.\xa0With a motto of, "If you eat, you\u2019re in,"\xa0Incredible Edible\xa0turns neglected, unloved places into beautiful food-giving gardens, complete with signs that say \xa0"Help Yourself!"
Over 1,000 Incredible Edible\xa0projects have blossomed around the world.\xa0Learn how you can start your own Incredible Edibleproject in this inspiring and uplifting interview with Mary Clear.
