GroW6

Wherever we grow food, from a windowsill at home to land in our local community, it can be fun, and good for nature, our climate and us. If you are new to growing or want to grow more ‘fruitfully’, and to grow something fresh and nutritious to eat year-round, Grow6 can help.

It can be overwhelming to start and keep growing, so Grow6 keeps it simple with six crops that grow well in Scotland in a range of settings, and information and tips gleaned from Scottish growers on each crop. You can develop skills and knowledge and build your food-growing confidence with inspiration to keep growing.

The Grow6 campaign ran from Spring 2023-2024 with real time growing advice supporting folk new to growing at home or in community settings to try growing some food in our changeable Scottish weather. Whilst the ‘real-time’ function is no longer supported you can use the crop cards, scroll past updates or click on the links below to see if you have a growing space near you to learn and practice.

If you don’t find a group on the map near you or want to start a group in your local area get in touch we are here and happy to help.

What do you want to grow?

Grow6 was supported through the Tesco Communities Fund 2023-2024.

Every growing space and every season is different, and changes how we grow food. Grow6 is a place for new, and experienced growers, to start to learn, practice and share tips and tricks for growing success in our changeable climate.
