As part of the Communities Mental Health and Well-being fund we have been generously granted funding to enable us to offer various session to encourage more people to be involved with the Community Garden and Food Growing Co-Operative.

The purpose of this group is to bring together people who are interested in being part of a Food Growing Co-Operative and Community Garden. You may be feeling socially isolated; struggling with the cost of living demands, have reduced mental health; and/or be neuro-divergent.

We are looking for people who have an interest in learning to grow vegetables either at home themselves eventually or to continue to be part of the Food Growing Co-Operative within Off Grid Community.

These groups are for people who have growing experience that they are happy to share, and also people who have no previous experience but want to learn.
