Get Growing
Your Own
Whatever you are growing and wherever your setting, ‘growing your own’ at home in a garden, a container, windowsill, or allotment can be hugely rewarding and is increasingly important. The act of tending the soil to grow food and flowers, and keeping or making space for nature, is beneficial for our individual well-being and also for our neighbours, wider community, and of course local wildlife.
Individual efforts combined, make a big difference. Gardening with and for nature and the climate needn’t take more effort and infact uses less resource. When we share our enthusiasm, seeds, seedlings and skills our positive impact grows.
If you are waiting or looking to sign up for an allotment, and want to participate and learn from community growing contact hello@ we are here and happy to help.
