It was a delight to be back at the Bridport Food Festival in June after a gap of 3 years.
The weather on the day did prove to be a bit challenging, mostly bright but incredibly blustery and as the tent was facing into the wind, there were some “exciting” moments when it seemed as if it might take off! In the end we did have to pack up a bit early.
But despite all that the BADAS Stall this year was a great success. We had come up with some ideas to fit in with sustainablity and environmentally friendly themes.
We provided seeds, pots and compost and invited children/young people to come and plant a seed which they could then take away. We had lots of keen participants and the pumpkin seeds proved most popular. It would be lovely to hear from people how their seeds did, and photos of plants and produce would be even better! On the stall, we had also printed out a range of recipes from the Website’s Plot to Plate feature, to give away. These were very popular indeed and “flew off the shelves”.
In addition the stall was manned/womanned at all times and we spoke to existing members who dropped by as well as potential new members or just people who like to talk about growing stuff.
From our Victorian Walled Garden, in the heart of rural Somerset we offer one of the largest selections of edible plants, fruit trees and bushes and herbs to be found in the UK. In addition, we offer an amazing array of Heritage and Heirloom seeds and a few modern varieties we consider worthy of growing.

Palmers ales are brewed in one of Britain’s oldest and prettiest breweries and have been since 1794. The only thatched brewery in the UK, Palmers sits adjacent to the river Brit just a mile from Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. All their fine ales are brewed using water from their own naturally rising spring. More importantly, Palmers also rent a number of excellent allotments just off Gundry Lane!
