Aim
to create as much positive change as possible where people thrive and not just survive.
The project is based on an ethos of sharing to benefit each other and the community with the aim of creating positive change; so far the project has created/does the following:
- community pop up share and swaps
- provide a way and a place for growers to share and swap produce, plants and seeds as a way to connect with one another and reduce growing costs. on average growers save between £10 - £50 year which reduces the costs of growing and helps people to keep growing.
- our surplus seeds and plants are used to support other growing projects/initiatives in the community as well as new growers, helping to reduce their costs.
- our surplus produce gets donated towards our local foodbank and used to support other positive causes.
- supports growers within the community
- supports and help people to start growing, providing guidance and advice with planning etc providing seeds and plants.
- supports and helps other projects/organizations to set up growing intitiatives within the community.
- we have converted an unused car park space which used to have rubbish dumped on it into a pocket sized agrihood where all of the produce grown on it is shared within the community. It is surrounded by a container fruit tree orchard.
- we have converted another unused car park into a growing area with raised beds giving tenants within our housing cooperative who do not have a space the opportunity to grow their own produce.
currently we are converting a residential street into a "scrumping street"....with fruit bushes and trees. there are also other plans in the pipeline! ......
the project is run on a voluntary basis and is an unfunded project ...help us to continue to create positive change by making a donation!...thanks for reading. ;)
