THE Alton Local Food Initiative (ALFI) held a seedling swap at Alton Town Council’s All Things Outdoors Market in the Public Gardens last Saturday.

ALFI provided and accepted vegetables, herbs and flowering plants, either swapping them or giving them away for a donation.

Ann Foulkes gave a talk on ALFI which was filmed by the council for its Facebook page. It reviewed ALFI’s philosophy and talked about the areas it gardens and future events.

The next ALFI event is the Harvest Feast on October 8 at Alton Methodist Church Hall. For details see www.altonlocalfood.com
