Involve the whole community in growing and harvesting your fruit and vegetables

We want to support communities looking to create or restore food growing patches. Our aim set up sustainable projects which will benefit nature for the long-term and enable people to take ownership of growing and distributing their own produce.  

The package will include:

  • Five native fruit trees
  • Two raised bed made of wooden sleepers (approximately 2.4m x 10m)
  • Allotment seed collection
  • Fruiting pot plants
  • Fruiting shrubs
  • 40m2 of wildflower turf
  • 50m of fencing
  • Greenhouse (1.97m x 1.97m)
  • Water butt
  • Compost bin
  • Path creation (ten metres)
  • Tool store (1.57m x 1.43m)
  • Bench made of recycled plastic (1.2m wide)
  • Variety of hand tools to install and maintain garden

We know that you may not have any prior experience of food growing, so we’ll help you to plan and construct growing areas, and support you in planting, looking after and harvesting your new crops.

The minimum area required for this package is 140 square metres. The variety of trees, plants and supplied will depend on the season and availability.

This is a large-scale project, so please make sure you read our guidance carefully before applying.
