Produce fresh, organic vegetables, eggs, mushrooms, or herbs while you socialise.. The ultimate healthy, cheap, fun and easy way to get your food!

Imagine you put in 2 hours once a week growing food with new friends and take a veg box every time. Depending on the land you could also produce mushrooms, meat, milk, cheese, eggs, or herbs for making your own medicines.

You also get invited to local events, where everyone swaps and shares seeds, seedlings, tools and growing tips.

Growing as a group, sharing a watering rota, covering for each other and taking weeks off, makes this 1000 times easier than your own allotment or garden plot. And it’s great for your health, your food bills, your kids and the planet!

In the last few years the We Grow team have helped 36 growing groups and over 100 families get together in East Sussex, and we are ever expanding to more areas. Groups usually range between 3 to 15 members or families, working and learning together and taking home food. Plots are in people’s large back gardens, allotments, community venues, schools, farms and town centres. Almost any land is possible to transform!

What’s so great about offering to share your land or joining a growing group?

Growing fresh, organic food outdoors with other people is brilliant for physical, mental and social health.
If you’re offering to share your land, it’s a great feeling to give other people some space to grow food! And people working on your land makes your space more beautiful.
Group growing is fun, easy and everyone naturally learns from each other.
From a weekly 2 hour session, you could take home a veg box every time!
If you bring your kids along with you, they make new friends with other kids in the group, learn how to grow their own food, spend more time in nature and discover loads of wiggly worms and bugs!
Swapping seeds and seedlings with your community makes everything cheaper, easier and more local.
Producing your own food means fresh and healthy food, zero food miles, no packaging and less supermarket buying!

To offer to share a part of your garden, allotment or larger land, list it on our map and meet local people who might like to join you.

To find out how we could help transform land around your community venue, school or business and create a community growing plot for you, check out our Plot Design page.

Our team can design the plot in collaboration with you, create a planting plan and organise workdays to get your community space growing.
