Community Seed Swap (Victoria Hall, Lampeter, SA48 7EE)

Why not try growing some new vegetable and fruit varieties this year by joining us at  Lampeter Permaculture Group’s Annual Seed Swap –  for everyone interested in swapping.  Displays, refreshments, advice and information are on hand as well as seeds and plants. Please bring any seeds that you have to swap so long as they are not too old and clearly labelled in paper envelopes/packets.

2020 is the 15th Anniversary of Lampeter Permaculture Group’s Seed Swap and now the event is really starting to gain some momentum. With each year there are increasing numbers of keen seed swappers, old timers who have always saved their own seeds, people exchanging gardening and growing knowledge and new growers taking their first tentative steps in gardening.

It is so important that gardeners get involved in saving at least some of their own seed because it’s FREE, promotes biodiversity and local strains of seed, conserves older varieties, builds links between local growers in the area, and improves local food security. Most seeds on offer are not F1 hybrids, so are ideal for saving your own seed from.

You can also bring surplus plants and seedlings – also well labelled please, surplus garden equipment (not too large!), pots and gardening literature. If you don’t have anything to swap just give a donation. Donations from previous Seed Swaps have funded the planting of many fruit and nut trees in Lampeter and surrounding communities. If you are interested in local food, vegetable growing or gardening – then this is the event for you!

Selling your home saved seed is illegal, but swapping these seeds isn’t – so don’t delay – save away!

Check out our event on the video below:

If you manage to grow a surplus – bring your plants to our Community Plant Swap on 9th May 2020.

Tools for Self-Reliance will be joining the Repair Café for the Seed Swap in Victoria Hall.

Community Plant Swap (Victoria Hall, Lampeter, SA48 7EE)

Do you find you end up with extra tomatoes or other plants you have grown from seed, maybe grown from the seeds exchanged at the Seed Swap in February? Don’t compost them! Bring them to our annual Plant Swap and exchange them for something you haven’t grown. Even if you haven’t grown anything to swap you can get some plants or seedlings by making a donation. Or you can donate and exchange small items of garden equipment.

We want to encourage local food growing and help people get to know other growers and get advice.

The ‘Swap’ is open to all and takes place during the People’s Market, a local food and craft market with a café and live music – a great way to spend a Saturday morning in Lampeter. Hope to see you there!


Apple Day

A Saturday tbc in October 2020 

FREE ENTRY

Watson and Pratts, Lampeter

10am-2pm

Bring your apples to be pressed and come to be im-pressed by our display of locally grown apples by group members from their own orchards within a twenty mile radius of Lampeter. We usually display over 50 varieties and our knowledgeable ‘appleheads’ will be available to try to answer queries on growing fruit trees locally.

We will help you turn your apples into juice. Please bring your own containers and be ready to help with some chopping and scratting (grinding up the apples ready for pressing). As a rough guide 25-30lb/11-14kg of recently picked apples will give around 4-5 pints of juice. When it’s busy we can’t guarantee that the juice you get back will all be from your own apples, but it all tastes pretty darn good!

Apple Day at Watson & Pratts

10.00 am to 1.00 pm
At the front of the Co-op in Lampeter 
Incredible Edible Lampeter/ Bwyd Bendigedig Llambed (BBL), will be having it’s big plant out. The Co-op has handed over one of their big planters outside the supermarket on the Bridge road side to BBL to have as its first food-for-free bed.
BBL has already had 2 days on the site: the first to remove all the old plants followed by a publicity day on 10th May at the Co-op to inform people about BBL. At the same time, BBL members filled in the bed with a about half a ton of compost.
So, its all ready for the big planting session. LPG members will be bringing fruit and veg plants to fill the bed.

Hadau. Capsiwlau amser bendigedig ydyn nhw,  sy’n cynnwys cynhaliaeth, atgofion, caneuon a meddyginiaethau diwylliannau cyfan. Ond nawr mae cwmnïau biotechnoleg yn rheoli’r rhan fwyaf ohonynt.  Ac mae ceidwaid hadau angerddol yn brwydro yn erbyn hyn gan amddiffyn ein hadnoddau mwyaf gwerthfawr.

Transition Llambed, Transition Llambed Development Trust & Lampeter Permaculture Group present:

The award-winning documentary Demain (“Tomorrow/ Yfory”)

Demain is already a phenomenon in Europe, seen by over 1.5m people in France alone. It won Best Documentary at the Caeser Awards (the French Oscars), and has been shown in venues from high schools and village halls to the United Nations and the European Parliament.

Filmmakers Cyril Dion and Malanie Laurent raised a record 444,390 Euros by crowdfunding. Having read in the journal Nature that “humankind could disappear by 2100 if we do not drastically change our way of life”, they set off in search of communities’ own responses to climate change and resource shortages. In the ten countries they visited, they found pioneers who are reinventing agriculture, energy, economy, democracy and education. They began to see what tomorrow’s world could bring.

Demain is a positive, affirming and inspirational film, exploring creative solutions to the world’s multiple problems: everything from urban agriculture projects and community-owned renewables to local currencies – like Transition Town Totnes’ famous £21 note, created “because you can. Why not?”

Transition Network, which negotiated the rights to distribute the film in the UK, has invited community groups to arrange their own screenings. The UK is the first country to use such a model for distribution. The aim is to get this film screened in every community.

Now screening worldwide, Demain regularly receives standing ovations, and has sparked the formation of many new community-led projects. Demain is the perfect antidote to the current sense of global despondency!

Only a few days before the general election, in which the UK makes the latest in a series of momentous decisions about our future, a vision of a potential positive future could be just what we need.

All welcome, free entry. Doors open 6.30pm; film starts at 7pm. Donations welcome. There will be a break with refreshments (including home-made cakes!)

Demain is in English, and French with English subtitles.

To find out more about Demain, see the fil’s own website: https://www.demain-lefilm.com/en/film

The film trailer is at https://www.tomorrow-documentary.com/#trailer-section

Films of Hope

Five short, inspirational documentary films of people living sustainably, now!

1) The Miracle Water Village by Black Ticket Films

Lying in one of the worst drought-prone regions of India, the village of Hiware Bazar battled many decades of sparse rain and failed crops. However, 20 years ago, this entire Maharashtrian village came together to script a silent revolution. This film tells the incredible story of a village that is literally an oasis in the middle of the desert, boasting of bumper harvests, dairy co-operatives, millionaire families and visionary farmers.

2) What If We Change: Hope in a Changing Climate by whatifwechange

A major project is restoring fertility and hope to China’s Loess Plateau – until recently one of the poorest regions of the country. Centuries of agriculture have removed the trees and leave land vulnerable to erosion from wind and rain. An area the size of Belgium, its once-fertile soils have been washed away, leaving a blighted land scarred with deep ravines – and farmers scarcely able to make a living. For 15 years John D. Liu has been following a remarkable project to replant trees and stabilize the soils of the Loess Plateau. The once-bare hillsides are now cloaked with green forest and productive fields. Hope in a Changing Climate follows John on a journey from China to Africa to find out how the lessons learnt about the Loess Plateau could help restore degraded lands around the world.

3) Urban Permaculture (Grow Food, Not Lawns!) by Francois Evangelista

4) The Food Forest by guy10family

The Guytons started planting their food forest in 1998 on two acres of bare land in Riverton, New Zealand. This style of gardening was new to Southland so their neighbours did not approve. Now it is an established food forest with hundreds of different plant species. Fruit and nut trees, berries and herbs and wild plants all blend together in a productive and sustainable way. This short video introduces concepts of permaculture.

5) Tinkers Bubble Low Impact Community: Living in the Future (Ecovillages) 3

Tinker’s Bubble, an eco community in Somerset, is a great example of a simple living community. In contrast to their wealthy neighbours with large houses, the community lives in small homes made with canvas or wood from the woodland. Formed in 1994 by a group of people with similar ideas of living off the land, the community fluctuates and there can be up to fifteen adults and children living under the trees on top of the hill.

Owned by a co-operative, the land consists 40 acres of woodland, pastures, and apple orchards. Low-impact living is their major idea, easily seen when visiting. They have strict principles of not using fossil fuels. They cook on a wood stove or over an open fire, use wind and solar energy for light, and have a huge steam-powered locomotive engine, which operates in a straw-bale barn (for noise insulation), where they mill trees from their land. For their farm work and any heavy moving, they have a Shire horse, named Samson, who when not working grazes in the apple orchards.

Entry is free – donations are welcome
