May 23: Food. Social event. 11am-4pm, launch party for Green Garden Cafe. Young people will be involved in much of the preparation and delivery of this event. There will be free healthy veggie/dairy free food available on the day.
'Green Garden Cafe' is a new social enterprise, not for profit organisation, that offers pure vegetarian catering for any occasion. We plan to be as environmentally friendly as possible by using as much locally sourced organic products as are available and by using environmentally friendly biodegradable packaging wherever possible. We will be working in partnership with 'The Foyer' (Young People's Centre) in Coventry to deliver healthy living training to young people. This will involve such content as the growing of organic vegetables, shopping trips to buy produce with as lower road mileage as is possible and the cooking of what we grow and buy to make healthy, easy to produce, meals. Exactly what we can deliver will be subject to funding. See www.greengardencafe.co.uk

Wendy Foxall - childminder
I'm going to serve vegetarian food to all the children I care (age 1-8) for during the week, as well as my own family. I will also base the activities for this week around vegetables. Activities will include: cooking/eating, planting vegetable seeds, hopefully harvesting some fruit and veg, colouring, vegetable printing etc.
