A year and a half ago, Lou Ridsdale started her own vegetable garden and soon realised she has been growing to much produce and decided to share her produce and left a note in her laneway that says 'free food'. Image: Some of the free food being shared at the Food Free Laneway (Lou Ridsdale)

Today around 100 people drop by her laneway not just to swap their extra produce, food but also share a cup of tea as they exchange stories and build friendships and community.
