PEDAL -> Portobello Transition Town

COURSES

The best, most local, organic, and tasty food is food that you have grown, pre­pared and cooked your­self!  We want to help every­one in Portobello to grow what they can, on their win­dowsill, in their garden, or on an allot­ment or on our planned com­munity farm.

We also want to help local people save money and reduce car­bon emis­sions by learn­ing how to pre­serve food, reduce the amount of food they throw away, or com­post what’s left over.

You may never have grown your own fruit and veg before, or you may have star­ted and want to know more. To help you, PEDAL is plan­ning a series of courses and work­shops. We are already offer­ing courses on how to grow your own veg, and we are look­ing to run oth­ers on com­post­ing, bee­keep­ing, bread mak­ing, pickle mak­ing, prun­ing fruit trees and bushes, cook­ing with scraps, and more.

If you are inter­ested in any of these top­ics, or maybe you have a sug­ges­tion for a course on some­thing else, please let us know. You can sign-up to receive our e-mail updates, or just send us a mes­sage.

Alternatively, for more inform­a­tion con­tact Polly Cooke, Food Worker, at polly@pedal-porty.org.uk or on 0131 258 4483.
