About
Our work in 2025
An exciting, community-led food-growing movement is taking root across Scotland, with more local groups and landowners working together to grow fresh, nature-friendly food close to home. Every community can grow food and benefit—and Get Growing Scotland is here to help make that happen.
Founded in 2021 in response to calls from community organisations and partners, Get Growing Scotland is a platform to inspire, connect, and share knowledge with everyone interested in growing food and building happier, healthier, and more resilient communities for the future.
If you’d like to get involved, share your story, or simply reach out, we’d love to hear from you—get in touch!
Campaign
We promote community led food growing, and all its benefits, so that everyone has the opportunity to participate and benefit from growing together.
This includes: reaching out to communities and partners where there is little or no activity; sharing inspirational stories on this site; advocating and sharing ideas with key organisations and people, encouraging them to collaborate and invest, share land and resources; advice to implement and develop policies.
Help@ advisory service
This direct advice service is free for community groups starting or developing a food growing site, and organisations and landowners supporting community led food growing, with advice and ongoing support on a wide range of topics from securing land and developing a vision, to organising and operating a site. Through sharing experience from grassroots projects, tapping into our knowledge expertise and support, and connecting projects and partner and policy opportunities, this in depth service is proven to enable and accelerate action, and save time and money.
Grow food resilience
The foundation of our work with the community food growing network and partners across Scotland is to build local connection to food, nature and each other. A focus on increasing land and skills for collective food growing builds communities and resilience, and our projects and practices, including Grow 6, an edible horticulture approach to food growing, and encouraging partnering with nature and climate on sites, all act as catalysts to build this movement.
