Summer with a delightfully barmy army: “The Edible High Roads event throughout the Fringe, with 22 fruit trees down the Salusbury Road in Queens Park, 30 lining Askew Road, Hammersmith, and 50 gracing Forest Hill. Chiswick will have a mile-long nectar garden of 60 herbal planters along its three main shopping streets, organised by Abundnace London, who will be throwing a street party on Saturday with promises of herbal bread-kneading, willow weaving and fragrant gin gardens. evening-standard-15-05-13
