Last week I was walking through the Bearpit roundabout in Bristol and came across these amazing artworks that the Soil Association have commissioned some of Bristols incredible grafitti artists to paint to bring Organic September to the fore and possibly introduce the concept of organics and bring a food production conversation to a new audience. I think its worth applauding the Soil Association for this and proves again that art is often the way to open a conversation with a new audience.

Its interesting, I think, to see art making quite political statements and bringing important information to the fore in a safe and often beautiful way!! Many people have no idea how important soil is as a carbon sink and that keeping soil healthy is as much about helping climate change as it is food production.

Of course there is an irony here in that often these artists use spray cans which are hardly environmentally friendly! However, Im assured that they are now sourcing less unpleasant paints!
This is a piece we, Incredible Edible Bristol, collaborated with the Peoples Republic of Stokes Croft on and it stands in the central reservation of Stokes Croft. its planted with tree spinach, kale and nasturtiums which were grown, by me, for Incredible Edible Bristols part of the project.
