Our Growing Community
greenspace scotland
community growing? • Growing of vegetables, fruit and
sometimes flowers on land that is not in person’s own private garden
• Usually involves a group of people growing on the same piece of land either separately or communally
• Happens in a range of different ways: allotments, community gardens, landshare, community orchards, community supported agriculture, workplace growing, edible landscapes…
• Happens in a range of locations: sites designated for growing, school grounds, backgreens, housing estates, temporary greenspaces….
What difference will it make? • Help people be creative about
community growing
• Explore the range of community growing options and practicalities of different approaches
• Coordinate and combine the efforts of local community growing initiatives and projects
• Increase the number and range of people and groups growing food in their area
