The mural is on the side wall Todmorden library and below the mural is a herb garden with free herbs for anyone to pick.
Incredible Edible is a not for profit Community Benefit Society. It started in 2008 when a couple of people planted some herbs and offered the results for anyone to pick. The idea caught on and now there are multiple public sites throughout Todmorden where herbs, vegetables and fruit are grown for the benefit of everyone, local or not.
All the produce grown can be picked for free, and information boards give information about what is growing and when to pick it. There are also community bee hives. The society also arranges cookery courses and promotes healthy eating. It also encourages people to shop locally.
The idea has spread, both within the UK and to other countries and there are now many similar schemes.
The mural shows a number of scenes from around the town and also a young girl picking a bunch of herbs.
