Incredible Edible Conwy might never have begun but for the fact that Ruth Bitowski can never pass a skip without having a nose around.
A local artist always looking for materials to work with, saw that this particular skip contained decking squares, 36 to be precise and all still in pretty good nick.
After a quick word with the owner, she soon had them rammed into her small car and went on her way whilst hatching an idea to turn them into planters for fruit trees. This idea became the starting blocks for the Incredible Edible concept to begin in Conwy. It was launched at the Conwy Feast in 2013 and the group have gone from strength to strength, creating many more areas to grow food. And the planters…. well they have been painted and planted up many times since and can still be seen around the town.
