Barnfield Labour candidate 2016 Jodie Travis said, "Graham Jones MP and Cllr June Harrison asked if something could be done to brighten up the roundabout and Incredible Edibles were only too happy to help. They got a good team together and we spent a few hours planting up which should look fantastic in the coming months!"
Founder member and former Chair of the group, Katie Farnell, said, "Incredible Edibles Accrington is a group of volunteers from Hyndburn. Our purpose is to utilise unused land for locally grown edibles such as fruit and vegetables in Hyndburn. The edibles when ready can be picked and enjoyed by all. If you see one of our beds with weeds, weed it. If it needs water, water it. If it's ready for picking go ahead and pick it - our gardening spaces are for the whole community to enjoy!"
Cath Holmes said, "We also aim to bring arts, crafts, literature and many other activities to create food growing spaces that are fun, pleasurable and learning environments. Making these area enjoyable for all members of our community not just gardeners! We meet at The Park Pub, Manchester Road, Accrington on the first Wednesday evening of the month at 7.00pm."
