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, Grow 6 can help.

It can be overwhelming to start and keep growing, so Grow 6 keeps it simple with six crops that grow well in Scotland in a range of settings, information on each crop,  and regular updates throughout the year for growing anywhere and everywhere across Scotland. You can develop skills and knowledge and build your food-growing confidence, and inspiration to keep growing.

 You can follow Grow 6 and learn and practice at home. Community gardens and growing spaces can help you learn through volunteering. Look at these maps, to see if you have a growing space near you.

• Social Farms & Gardens
• Keep Scotland Beautiful, It’s Your Neighbourhood

If you don’t see a project on the map near you or want to start a community growing group get in contact.
