Grow Zones is a community growing project bringing help and inspiration to your garden, wonderful food to your table and adding friendship and purpose to your life.
A Grow Zones team clubs together to share skills, tools and produce to eliminate food miles. A team of households come together and take turns to visit one another’s gardens for a morning, carry out tasks that the household has planned, and finish with a shared lunch.
It is a great project for churches and community groups wanting to nurture local community, and deepen their mission and community presence. It provides an exciting way to engage with your wider neighbourhood and helps bring people together, connecting them to environmental issues in new ways.
Each Grow Zone team is setup by a local facilitator, who is resourced by the Grow Zones Kit, which provides all that is needed to get a team growing.
