Edible Streetscapes in Bellingen

 Edible Streetscape update

A number of local businesses, such as Kombu Wholefoods, Alchemy in Bellingen and Bellingen Solar (project still in process) have already joined the initiative by planting an edible garden outside their premises.

Future plans and dreams include building planter boxes on  Bellingen’s main street, planting an edible garden at Maam Gaduying, outside the Council chamber, sponsoring fruit trees to be planted all over town and creating a vegetable garden to replace or complement the abandoned tennis court in north Bellingen.
