#BristolFoodKind Week

Peaches Golding OBE, Lord-Lieutenant for Bristol, joined forces with friends, family and colleagues across Bristol on #BristolFoodKind, a campaign focusing on issues related to food.  ‘I am a keen amateur gardener and, for the first time, I am increasing the number of vegetables I grow on some newly built raised beds,’ Peaches Golding explains.  The campaign suggests that growing your own fruit and vegetables, no matter the amount, increases well-being.  ‘I make my own compost and produce beautiful asparagus and rhubarb.  I am sowing mini-corn ears, red peppers, garlic, shallots, broad beans and more on the raised beds.’  Other themes explored through the #BristolFoodKind campaign include reducing food waste and supporting local independent food retailers.  During the Coronavirus pandemic, more and more people are finding it is possible to grow food on sunny windowsills, in hanging baskets as well as in gardens.
