Community Herb Gardens

IET’s herb garden on the Burnley Road opposite the park entrance has been a great success. Yes, all our herbs are legal and excellent for zapping up your cooking.

It’s the third year for this and the herb garden at Todmorden Station, originally courtesy of Todmorden in Bloom. And if you’re a commuter waiting for a train why not yank out some of those naughty weeds while you wait, then reward yourself with a deliciously smelly sprig or two!

The plans for the new Health Centre have now been changed and IET will be creating an apothecary’s garden. Yes, herbs can aid good health as well as tasting yummy. See more in Growing around town and Growing bodies.

Contact Helena Cook if you want help in establishing a community herb bed. Pennine 2000 tenants can contact their landlord for a free pack and advice.
