Grow Zones Facilitators Workshop

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. You can read more about it here.

Would you be interested in starting a group in your area? You don’t need to have any gardening experience (although some within your group helps), all you need is to be good at organising and encouraging people. If you can gather a group of people together, we’ll provide the help and resources to get you growing for your first season.

So, something of a challenge then! Amazingly, in less than 3 hours, the garden was transformed.

Some of the gardens we have visited are quite substantial; ours is tiny – about 5m square and I would never have thought we could grow veg in it until I started to hear about permaculture.
