Pam Smart of Incredible Edible Ramsbottom — Pam taking some rare time off from her hectic Incredible Edible Ramsbottom schedule.

This week on This Is Rammy we have a conversation with Pam Smart from Incredible Edible Ramsbottom.

Incredible Edible started life around 5 years ago when a founder of the movement came to provide a talk to the community, from that day forth, Incredible Edible Ramsbottom was born and the rest is history.

Incredible Edible are a Guerrilla group, but don’t worry, they’re not the scary kind. They are activists though, by planting trees and growing plants on patches of land which are either disused, or have been offered as a space where the group can help to spread their green fingers.

All of the edible plants are free for people to use, they are for the public, however, please just take what you need so that there is enough for everyone.

This week This is Rammy interviews Danny English of The CommuniTree Initiative.
Having grown up in Ramsbottom, there are very few places that Danny doesn’t know about, but when it came to finding a place for his community project (The CommuniTree Initiative) he found it wasn’t quite so straightforward as he might have expected.

Danny spent lots of time visiting areas of local woods and parks, but nothing quite felt right, that was until a local member of the Village Community Group in Summerseat was able to show him The Island, which just fit in perfectly with what Danny envisaged his project to be.

I was lucky enough to be able to interview Melanie Southworth for This is Rammy a few weeks ago and discussed with her the climb that she’s about to undertake. Everest!

From growing up in Ramsbottom on Bolton Street, visiting The Major with her father growing up or even running a shop in Ramsbottom, Melanie has been heavily involved with Ramsbottom which is why she’s taking the Ramsbottom coat of arms on a flag to put on the top of Everest.

Whilst chatting it became evident that Melanie is a very grounded person, who clearly doesn’t appear to let anything phase her, no’one takes on Everest lightly and Mel fully understands this having been some way up it previously.
