"Throughout 2011, the Real Bread Campaign is showing children around Britain how to Bake Your Lawn and follow the Real Bread trail from seed to sandwich on your own doorstep.
Starting with just one square metre of ground and a handful of earth, our FREE grassroots guide will show you how to grow it, mill it, bake it, eat it."
For Berkhamsted to be a successful Transition Town it needs to involve everyone who lives or works in Berkhamsted - businesses, schools, residents, local organisation, public bodies.
With this support we can build a strong sustainable community for the future, which can take practical actions to lower our carbon emissions and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
These actions are key to us developing a community that is resilient to future changes in prices and availability of fuel.
The benefits of us working together to build this self reliance could be:
a healthier fitter way of life
where we know our neighbours
where we can let our children play on the newly pedestrianised streets
where we grow our own food
work locally
protect ourselves against rising gas, electricity and petrol prices.
