Eco Growing Kits: Grow food easily in small spaces
Loughborough, England, United Kingdom
Aim
We want to help people grow food at home in small spaces. Our eco kits make it easier for people to experience the joy of growing food.
Our Mission
We want to reconnect people with food, nature and each other.
Our mission is to make homegrown food accessible to more people. You don't need a degree in horticulture to grow food and we are on a mission to help people, regardless of what space or time limitations they may have. Many people lack space to grow, we are living in generation rent with many people not allowed to grow food in their gardens. We also have seen a rise in hard landscaping such as patios, gravel and tarmac but our coffee sack growing kits can be used on these!
Our Vision
We see a future where homegrown food is the new normal and people find themselves reconnected with nature and food. We don't expect to stop people shopping for food, but growing some of your own food is beneficial in so many ways. The sense of satisfaction of growing from seed to plate and enjoying the flavours of a freshly plucked tomato is in my eyes, hard to beat!
We see a future where growing food helps break social isolation. Food growing is a great talking point to help you engage in conversations with your neighbours whilst sharing the fruits of your labour. It's also perfectly normal to name your plants and talk to them regularly, it's even scientifically proven to help plants grow!
Our Growing Kits
Our coffee sacks are collected from a local coffee roaster in Nottingham. For every one we take we donate 50p to The Brain Tumour Charity. In the UK many coffee sacks end up in landfill, we select ones which are pure natural materials, usually jute and that contain no plastic. They are all unique and are hand sewn with natural jute twine to create your growing space. We supply everything you need except the compost to fill the sack. Our kits include everything you need to get started except the compost for the coffee sacks. Inside each kit will be information on choosing good compost and avoiding peat.
