Starting your own Grow Zones group

What is Grow Zones?

All over the UK groups of people are discovering the delights of growing their own food. The Grow Zones project from EarthAbbey is a resource to help you get organised in your community. It aims to bring help and inspiration to your garden, wonderful food to your table, and fun and friendship to your life. A group of anything between 8 and 20 people club together to share skills and tools and help each other to transform their gardens, with the aim of growing more fruit and veg, decreasing food miles and having great fun in the process. Some groups may choose to work a community space together instead of gardens.
