Dig & Grow

Imagine transforming underused spaces like school grounds, churchyards, and community gardens into vibrant hubs of local food production, where residents come together to grow fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, and beautiful flowers. We’ll kick things off with hands-on gardening workshops, teaching everyone how to plant, grow seasonally, and make the most of organic composting and rainwater to reduce waste. To get everyone started, we’ll provide starter kits filled with soil, seeds, and planters, inspiring people to grow their own food right at home. One exciting project will involve selecting a local green space where we can plant trees and shrubs—native and sustainable—creating a lasting, eco-friendly legacy for the community. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do: we’ll grow resilient, low-maintenance plants, use companion planting to keep pests at bay, and enrich the soil naturally. We’ll partner with local businesses and food banks to share our harvest and reduce food waste, and invite everyone to join seed-saving swaps, ensuring we don’t need to buy new seeds every year. This is about building a greener, more self-sufficient community—one garden at a time!
