1. Project launch at the Badsey Flower Show, 24 July 2010

Throughout the afternoon, the Badsey Society stall was a throng of activity. People came to learn about the project, to look at an exhibition of market gardening tools and photographs, and to try their skill at identifying vegetables from their seeds. Visitors bought our publications and joined the society. Of special interest were a series of folders containing profiles of many of the local market gardening families. We were delighted that several people brought along documents and other information which will prove very valuable to the project.
