The beautiful lanterns we made with local schools took to the streets on Saturday for a torchlit procession at St Austell Carnival. Luckily the paper and willow creations, stored at Eden, had survived the flooding and kids were able to see their handiwork in full glory. And, thanks to epic all-night sewing sessions by Eden’s textile artist Sue Bamford, we [...]

Heavy rain has caused severe flooding at Eden

Impressive carving skills eh? Local families grew this pumpkin for a fruit and veg show, in the community garden that we’re helping run. The name of the project? You guessed it: Seeds, Soup & Sarnies.
