grow your own high street
the Incredible Edible story, and why it matters
FROM ‘PROPAGANDA PLANTING’...
TO RETHINKING PUBLIC SPACE
CHANGING THE STORY OF A TOWN THROUGH FOOD...

...BY SHARING LEARNING
...BY CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESS
...AND ADDRESSING THE REALLY BIG ISSUES
from incredible edible to thriving high streets: rethinking public space

STEP TWO: THINK OF YOUR TOWN AS A GARDEN
STEP THREE: THINK OF YOUR TOWN AS A PROMENADE
STEP FOUR: THINK OF YOUR TOWN AS A STAGE

‘It is through the performance of creative acts, in art, in thought, in personal relationships, that the city can be identified as something more than a purely functional organisation of factories and warehouses, barracks, courts, prisons and control centres.’
Lewis Mumford, The City in History, 1961
