Where our meals come from is giving food for thought in the Aire Valley.
And for Saltaire villagers, freshly grown fruit, vegetables, herbs and even edible flowers could not be closer to home.
A Taste of Saltaire will take over two Bradford Council flower beds outside Caroline Street Social Club and nurture produce for people to help themselves to.
The project, run by Sustainable Saltaire, started last year with support from students at Leeds Metropolitan University to boost edible and community gardening.
A talk by Mary Clear, from Incredible Edible Todmorden, drew a packed house in Saltaire last year when she spoke about the scheme’s success.
A director of Sustainable Saltaire, Sheri-Leigh Miles, said a group had met throughout winter to work on plans and funding options.
She hopes warmer weather will lead to more people getting involved.
A Taste of Saltaire also aims to show people just what can be grown in a small area.
An open meeting was due to be held tonight at 6pm at Shipley College Exhibition Building in Saltaire.
