This discussion has been prompted by the huge number of people who are now growing their own vegtables, herbs and fruit. For example, the Twisted Pepper\u2019s sister venue, the Bernard Shaw, now has\u00a0the Raver Cottage garden<\/a>\u00a0on its roof which provides the cafes and bars in both venues with fresh herbs and veg and we\u2019ve also seen the massive growth in community gardens around the city and country.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re doing this at the start of the year too as that\u2019s when people make resolutions to do this kind of thing so this will hopefully prompt them to actually follow through on their good intentions.<\/p>\n
