Transition St Albans will have a stand at two summer fairs over the next fortnight. Come along and meet us, take our oil challenge, and find out more about who we are and what we’re about.

Larks in the Parks – Fleetville – Sunday 28th of June, 12-5 pm
This day of family fun takes place in six different parks around the town as part of St Albans festival. We’ll be at the Fleetville one.

Earthworks Summer Fair – off Hixbury Lane – Sunday 5th of July, 11 am-4 pm
Earthworks is a local charity offering horticultural training to people with learning difficulties or mental health problems.

Hot on the heels of Michelle Obama’s White House kitchen garden, Buckingham Palace has revealed that the Queen has an allotment too.

Strawberries, beans and tomatoes are all growing in a neglected corner of the palace gardens. True to royal form, it is all organic and includes rare heritage varieties.

Some interesting articles on transition towns in the press the last few weeks include this Guardian column on ‘new politics’, and this Times article on learning to grow food again.
