We work with communities to create
community growing spaces. These spaces are created and run by the community and link in with other growing One Planet Matters community members (Schools, environmental groups, parish councils), etc... all with a common purpose to create positive environmental change whilst creating food that can be used by vulnerable groups within the community itself. Simple yet effective. These growing communities
bring people together, are great for mental health and wellbeing, and when linked together with other growing groups create positive change.
Imagine how positive it is for a young person to be given an opportunity to be involved in growing food, or improving the local environment? Really positive especially when the food is then fed back into the local area to support others.
This location is an example of an area that will be turned into a community growing location. Nearby we are also working to create a community orchard that will be run by local volunteers with both locations being linked into a wider growing community network.
